The Sea

The sea swirls
into the bay,
tossing and turning
long sleepless night.

Moon shines, full and bright;
it's wavering image
reflected on the water.

The sea swells
under the light of the moon,
and crashes into the bay,
into its open arms

flooding its cool sands.
Twisting and drifting
the sea loses stray items from its depth,
picks up new trashes and treasures
left astray by wanderers.

Water ebbs back,
returns to the sea
and the ever watchful eyes
of the man in the moon,
who beams his radiance
onto the darkened, swirling sea.
