tidal ebb and flow
silver moon to golden glow
dawn of a new year
Silver dawn awakes
the new day is born again
innocent and fresh
blinding confusion
uncharacteristic light
a startled owl blinks
tide of perfection
enhancing natural gifts
windswept harmony
Catching the sea breeze
white wings glide above the waves.
Seagulls soar... Freedom!
