Milk calm sea lost in slumbers
sighs soft baby breath sighs,
dreaming deep, deep rolling dreams
cradled in silver threaded moonlight.
Stray wandering glints of starlight
mirrored upon an ebon bosom
rock to the motherly rise and fall
of every wavelet breath.
Silver-white lies the far horizon
a mist-smudged mystery
beyond lies the rose pink dawn
painting a path across the sea.
