Once again the majestic awe of the night’s rule overcomes my simple mind.
I sit on the dock and wonder how such beauty remains unspoiled by the reckless behavior of mankind.

A full moon looms in the clear sky.
Beaming down her veil of shimmering light and unlocks the door to a whole ‘nother world.

It’s cool rays delight in the tiny ripples of the dark blue water.
Reflecting, what seems to be as, a pathway to heaven.

Creeping below me in the eerie, murky water.
Dark images of curious fish move slowly and gracefully in a rhythmic dance.

The peaceful, delicate sounds of the small waves breaking on the sand bar is a lullaby to the soul.
The smooth cool sand embraces my foot as I sink into his mold and he spills over my toes.

The ducks sit comfortably on a floating dock.
Bobbing with the waves, nestled deep into their down of feathers.

The outline of the surrounding mountains, where it touches the navy sky,
Is a curtain, Keeping me safe from crude reality.
From the conquering pains of tomorrow.
