The Tale of Dusk

Written from the prompt: A Sunset

Standing across the busy lives of city people

The world stops as the Ocean's salt lands on my lip

As each wave hits

The sun starts to hide behind the buildings 

Everyone tries to capture this moment 

In a picture, but it's nearly impossible 

It must be felt

So as I stand here, waiting...

I'm hoping you feel it too

The Moon peeks out with his friends

In hopes of finally seeing her

But, all he is told from the clouds is 

"She was lovely today" 

Even if she never feels it 

The Moon vowed:

"I'll die every morning trying to show her

how stunning she is"

He reflects off the Ocean 

As the Ocean blushes

She knows he's in love with her 

Best friend

Standing across the busy lives of city people

The world stops as the Ocean's salt lands on my lips 

As each wave hits

I realize

I am the Ocean...

Oh this is such a pleasant read. I felt immersed in this picture you painted, it brought back profound memories. The moon and ocean are such good metaphors. "He reflects off the Ocean as the Ocean Blushes" this part was genius. Lovely poem, well done. :)
