The sun sets on the ocean. (Form: Rondeau) A Verdant Poetry Entry

See Worthy

Sunlit, the tranquil silent sea
fades gently in obscurity
as night descends. I sit alone,
a carving made from night's dark stone,
and watch the sunset's jubilee.

I mourn the light, watching it flee
into the dark infinity
then reappear as stars are sown
across the tranquil silent sea.

As if some arcane deity
prepared this display just for me,
I watch the moon ascend her throne,
her coronation softly shown
in muted tones reflectively
upon the tranquil silent sea.
