A Light to Bring Me Home

An intense glow from across the harbor grounds me as I look out.

The creamy wisps of clouds float smoothly through the night sky.

Gazing at a moon that promises a future so bright and full of wonder. 


I see the reflection on the water.

I smell the musk of the seaweed gathering at the docks.

I taste the salt in the air from the water of the harbor.

I hear the chirps of crickets radiating around me, reminding me of the night.

I feel a sense of serenity fall through me and I close my eyes, drifting into a dream-like state. 


The colors of the twilight sky morphing together as they shape my dreams.
