Good Night Kiss

By ERIKA BEAVER

Mountain tops reaching towards the blue sky

Are covered in native green vegetation.

The silver clouds decorate the scene

With their mysterious shapes and sizes

The dreaming girl, is sleeping peacefully

In the deep blue ocean’s warm, soft embrace.

                                 

Grasping her book tightly, in her small hand,

Her blond locks look like whispers in the wind.

The sand welcomes her head, and keeps her safe.

The waves do not disturb her, like she is in a cave

Dolphins are dancing along the smooth shore line,

Splashing happily under the setting sun.

Each wave curls effortlessly, onto the shore

They’ve each traveled a long journey to get there

A small island pokes out into the air,

Trying to escape the depths of the water.

The sun’s rays reach down towards the horizon

As if to give the earth a good night kiss.
