Bad Moon Rises
One evening in June
Dave crossed the short boardwalk
that carried him past
the Marram grass-filled sand dunes
onto the white sandy beach.
In the setting darkness
but in the light of the full-moon
he realized the shore was empty.
As it approached Sundown
he wondered, “Am I alone?”
until he saw the body
washed up at the tide mark.
Rushing to see if someone had drowned
he ran until he was about
twenty feet from a nearly naked woman
he had assumed was a body
who was dressed in only a nightgown
when she rose and ran into the sea.
He watched as the beautiful
blonde-haired vision dove
into an approaching wave and disappeared.
He disrobed and went in
searching for several minutes
but there was no sign of her…weird!
