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
