fade into the night.

excited leaves,
play in the winds fingers.
balancing birds,
sit aloft restless branches.
gentle waves,
caress the coral sand.
disturbed sand,
slowly settles to previous state.
bright clouds,
sail amidst baby blue skies.

dried leaves,
dance across the puddled' sand.
long legged birds,
scurry the timid shores' offerings.
the gentle sea,
keeps wooden vessels meek.
fine sand,
churn across the beach's surface.
jealous clouds,
rush to block the sun's brilliance.

palm leaves,
wave patterns of shade on the sand.
a steel bird,
roars across the sky's expanse.
alluring waves,
call and invite me to indulge.
placid sand,
wakes my prudent thoughts of circumstance.
untainted clouds,
now dip into the sea at the horizon.
orange sun,
follows suit.
and with it,
all cognizant beauty fades.
the cold,
forms alliance with the growing darkness.
