From the Doorway at Night


I hear Adele sing her 
bluesy tunes
highlighted by your classically trained
tones.

I see planes lining up,
in mid air, no less.
Isn't it amazing to 
line up in mid air?

I hear the bay,
breathing in and out,
in and out,
in and out,
In. And. Out.

Laughter splashes
over the dune.
It is the flirting kind
camouflaging butterflies
but failing miserably to disguise
the excitement of a brushing hand.
Was that intentional?

I hear the bay
breathing.
Though darkness shades,
life is abound.

The Sun never sleeps.
The world keeps breathing.
When the lights go out,
one only needs to listen,
and waves will rush to shore.
