The Beach at Night
By Estel Elendil
Rising and returning
The waves slowly reach the shores
And are greeted by the calling of the gulls
Calling, calling again
Come home
The sand slips slowly through my fingers
As I lie on the on the smooth shores
Each time welcoming the waves back in
In the distant cities
There is only the muted murmur of the late night
And here by the shore, the sounds of the waves
The soft sounds of waves and gulls
Are the only nightly noises to be noticed
Once the world has gone to sleep
But I still lie on the beach
As the waves slowly reach the shores
Rising and returning.
