Starless night

A bird of white

did alight

under a starless night

in search of food.

None, so rude,

did disturb this sight.

For it was one

among a run

of many on that night

when stars did hide;

did dark collide

with peace and joy's delight.

Far from view,

Horizon knew

the kiss of Sky and Sea.

And well in sight -

one left, one right -

the footprints came to be

of wanderers;

of wonderers,

who came to hear and see

the sight so rare;

the mark so fair:

the footprints of the sea.

The tide then rose

to kiss the toes

of Sky who deigned to glance

at all of those,

that night, who chose

to go and take a chance.

Thoughts did flow

and words did glow

in fair poetic dance.

The endless sea

gave energy

to City's mad romance.
