the setting sun blood red orb falling into mercury sea soft breeze tracing your skin like a lover’s caress stillness so pure inky blackness falls an endless arch peppered with stars planets blink flying fish dance phosphorescence sparkles green luminous in the wake of your footfall and so you sit breathing absorbing the very essence of earth, sea and sky the moon rises full swollen with fecundity silence embraces you life’s negativity is cleansed from your soul and so you sit dreaming wishing on a star the sun rises pink, peach, soft enveloping your being giving birth to a brand new day to a brand new you

Maldivian Night
the setting sun blood red orb falling into mercury sea soft breeze tracing your skin like a lover’s caress stillness so pure inky blackness falls an endless arch peppered with stars planets blink flying fish dance phosphorescence sparkles green luminous in the wake of your footfall and so you sit breathing absorbing the very essence of earth, sea and sky the moon rises full swollen with fecundity silence embraces you life’s negativity is cleansed from your soul and so you sit dreaming wishing on a star the sun rises pink, peach, soft enveloping your being giving birth to a brand new day to a brand new you
