As light fades to dark
Its shadows leave their mark
On the sky and on land
Even on the warm sand
They sweep across the ocean
Yet not really in motion
Something dark, sure
But not pure
Its form ripples and sways
Like it is in a maze
Light is blotted out
And the sun pouts
As its hard work is driven away
By some shadows so stray
Uncontrollable things are they
Those moving forms of gray
Or are they black
If only they were lilac
One form rises above its friends
And separates into tens
Hundreds of shadows cloak the shore
And reach towards the ocean floor
No star shines where they thrive
But the moon is brave enough to dive
Towards the ocean
Creating a motion
Of light so bright
The shadows take flight
Trailing after the pouting sun
Until a new day has begun
