Moving On

A soft glow moves above the hills
Swiftly followed by warm sunshine
The coarse sand glitters golden
Waves crash hard over the tide line

The brilliant sun sets below the western horizon
It has been swallowed by the never-ending sea
The stars spring into the air
As twilight arrives before me

Cool night air sweeps over the flat beach
The moon hangs imprinted against the dark night
A wave crashes loudly on the rocks nearby
The ocean is such an unbelievable sight

Before the sun arises
After the stars have gone
The sky seems blank and despairing
The night has moved on
