Beyond Closed Eyes

<p>As the tide goes out</p><p> </p><p>The lambent moon</p><p>A nimbus of light through</p><p>An opaque bank of cloud</p><p>To a symphony of night</p><p>Reflected in a shroud</p><p>Of water stretching to the horizon</p><p>As the waves gently break</p><p>Around my ankles</p><p>Silty sand beneath my toes</p><p>A peaceful sinking sensation</p><p>In the dark beyond as I close</p><p>My eyes</p><p> </p>
