As I look up at the sky
On the eve of the full moon
Amidst the cloudless inky blackness at night
With the dark mosaic of stars as her patron saint
Adorned in her silvery attire, the lustrous moon smiled
Silver teeth gleaming as pomegranate seeds of white gold
Shimmered on the translucent azure blue of the sea
Like silver pearls dancing in stupendous ecstasy
It seemed like cloak man took all the clouds with him tonight
And painted the heavens as a canopy in dim light
As I walked on the milky white sand
Of the deserted beach lit aglow
Perfect foot prints created like a garland
Playing hide and seek on the wet shore
The surging waves gently deposited
Sweet butterfly kisses on my bare feet
As it lapped on shore dancing in a rhythmic trance
Keeping harmony with the tropical beat
The naughty ocean breeze pulled back my wet hair
And tangled it into a thousand stubborn knots
As if pleating the thick strands in a hurried affair
Salty wisps caressed my face like a lover, long lost
The salty scent of the ocean pulled at my heartstring
And pierced it with such rapturous longing
This is home where I belong,
A taste of paradise on earth
