NIGHT FALL, by                    
First Line: Sea gulls and spray
Last Line: Tolling its echo within me.
Subject(s): Sea; Ocean


Sea gulls and spray --
Water lapping along the quay --
Like flecks of foam
Little white sails scurry home.

The sun dips low --
A dancing highway to it flows:
Bright peacock's train --
Phosphorescent ribbon of flame.

Waves like malachite --
Sound muffled in the robe of night --
Sob of the sea
Tolling its echo within me.
