Spanning the Night

Spanning the Night
Dedicated to my mother far across the tumbling waves of blue.

Into the sun it flies away
The sky grows dark bursting into vibrant array
Lively twinkles sparkle in
The great expanse becomes the twin
Lonely upon the waters
Float the daughters
Between the twinkles and the seekers
Following slowly the moon
And very soon
The twinkles fade
Chased by the shade
That fractures
And lures
The bright illumination
Of creation
