Late at night
I strain my eyes to see
A deep blue canopy
Stretched beyond sand and sea…
A friendly southwest breeze
Tickles my furrowed brow
Choirs of shimmering waves
Serenade the ancient seawall
My sweetheart by my side
My cares all but forgotten
I stroll the moonlit beach
Soft sand beneath my feet
A million stars beckon
Laparillas jewel the sea
Fishermen await daybreak’s
Cold elusive catch
Late at night I smell
The sweet saltiness of the sea
A lingering mango moon
Fades on veils of silvery clouds
On a magic carpet I glide
To a time, moonlit summers past
My soul swims in tranquility
My heart sings a timeless melody
I stroll the moonlit beach
Angels in heaven above
Friends on earth below
I am a child once more…
