Every night as the sun sets
The ocean's waves begin to bet
Who will be the one to kiss
The sun's rays and who will miss
The first ray touches the water's surface
And the first wave resurfaces
Ray and wave touch at their tips
But the ray slips
The water turns a bright red
And the wave looks like it bled
It crashes against the rest of the water
Like a parent hugging his lost daughter
More rays kiss the surface
And more waves leave the subsurface
The ocean mimics the sky's bright color
And the blood red becomes duller
The sun slips under the water
As graceful as an otter
And the waves follow it under
Leaving the water and sky in wonder
Darkness fills the sky
And the moon reaches high
The last of the sunset rests just above the ocean
Leaving the water filled with emotion
