Moonlight on the Ocean
Why is it so quiet?
Even the sea is hushed
Under its silken robe
No gull cries
No foam stirs
Even the drunks
Have taken to sleep
Milky moonlight
Draped across a turbulent sea
Resting for once
Taking a breath
Looking off my balcony
And hoping for peace
But it’s temporary
The moonlight on the ocean

- Comment from author about the poem: From my home, I can see the ocean and some nights when the moon is full, bright, and when the sky is clear, it paints a beautiful picture of calm and peace that is so opposite from the usual view. These nights stand out to me in my memory for their beauty, and the welcome quiet that seems to come with them.
