setting sun

blood red orb falling into mercury sea

breeze gentle like a lover’s caress

a stillness so pure



inky blackness

endless arch peppered with stars

planets blink, flying fish dance

phosphorescence luminous in the wake of your footfall



and so you sit

breathing

absorbing

the very essence of earth, sea and sky



moon rise

full, swollen with fecundity

silence embraces you

life’s negativity is cleansed from your soul



and so you sit

dreaming

wishing on a star



sun rise

pink, peach, soft

enveloping your being

giving birth to a brand new day



to a brand new you
