The Night Sea

A lustrous crescent moon sets the inky sky ablaze,

Casting a haunting glow upon the pearl-grey sea

Mirrored upon the water; a gleaming silver sliver,

Accompanied by a scattering of stars.

The sea is vast; a fierce and fathomless mass;

Alive and impulsive; a wild, tempestuous beast

White-crested waves surge towards the shore;

A rhythm resounding in the still of the night.

The salty spray burns my lungs; igniting me from within,

An icy, rushing wind whips across my moonlit face

Adrenaline courses like liquid fire through my veins,

The desire to plunge into the depths is electrifying.

I am lost in the wild and raw beauty of the scene:

An infinite, raging abyss of ancient secrets

Compelling waters, free from the rigid grip of time…

What an enticing enigma is the night sea!
