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.
