And the moon kissed the ocean
The briefest flirtation
Reflected light spilling
Across the dark, rolling waves
And the ocean blushed deep blue
Drawn into moonly madness
Tidal waves a siren call
Answered in the night
And the moon kissed the ocean
A second, lingering time
Like a promise of the breaking dawn
A lover’s wistful caress
And the ocean opened wide
To swallow moonly love whole
So dawn could not steal away
Its lovely, strange delight
