The Moon shines upon the dark water

Reflecting the weariness of the world


Boats, Shadowed by the night, sails drawn in

Slowly bobbing in the cold water.


Three wisps of clouds in the cold night

Slowly drifting through the dark


The beach, shallow and still 

The sound of the waves rocking


The shadow on the horizon

Hiding the far-away from sight.


The dead night

Still and lifeless
