Moon And Sea Poem by Josephine J.W

As I kept my nightly vigil
On the cliff's rocky edge tonight
As the waves crashed below me
By the twinkling of starlight
I looked up into the cool night sky
Towards that silvery light
Casting a magical shadow
Turning dark waters bright

Upon the glistening waters
Unto the foaming shore
Shining like a beacon
Inspiring songs and lore
And as the light of stars
Guides sailors to their doors
The moon reflects steadily
Onto the watery floor

And as I begin to walk away
From my tryst upon the edge
I turn quickly back again
And stand wondering at the ledge
Towards the mystic beauty
In that silver wedge
Now full and ripely beautiful
Shimmering before my rocky edge.
