A Night with You

the warm waves,

under the night sky,
touched my feet

how even as my toes

dug into the ground

I felt as if

I were floating

on a cloud

how the rays of the moon

glowed upon the world,

making all feel ethereal

then

the dawn came,

then

the waves receded,

then

the moon buried.

how the sobering rays

of the pale sun

returned the cold breeze

of the morning

how I miss the night:

to be where the problems

of the day could not reach me,

where all seemed

beautiful,

happy,

and right
