Walking on the beach when the sun has set

The soft sigh of waves rolling in

Water laps at my feet and recedes

Tinted gold under the rising moon

One by one the stars appear

Their light obliterated by the closest star of all

But now as we turn our backs to the sun

Their silvery brilliance shines again

How I wish I could fly

And soar over the waves

Dancing in the beauty of the night

How I wish I could swim

And cavort like a dolphin

Among the singing waves

How I wish I could be one

With the night and the moon and the water

I walk along the sand

Taste and smell the brine

Listen to the song of the ocean

Bask in the gold of the moon
