View From the Sea

The night’s lit up like holiday,
a luminous azure plane
Bedecked with sparkling fireflies
too numerous to tame.
Tiny bits of diamonds
look at me like shining eyes,
Winking shapes of animals
from beyond all distant skies.

If I could connect these dots
to see each starry shape
Come alive in perfect view
my eyes would surely gape.
The secret stories from the past
of flight and fiery birth
Would come to life and dance alive
above this tiny Earth.

The moon a glaring half disc
in a layered rainbow dress
Looks like watermelon dipped
in platinum with heaven’s tress.
She soars above my water world
a beacon in the night
Chanting: I am food for thought,
now wont you take a bite?
