QUIET SEA AND THE MOON
The line where sky meets sea
Makes you do a double-take
As straight as it could be with a barely
Perceivable curve for science’s sake
Political correctness an attribute
If we have to be that cute
This line is different every day
Baffling the imagination
Betters would not make a play
No way to make a projection
Today drab-gray converges with light blue
Smudged with just a cloud or two
Not much wind, plentiful light
Peaceful everywhere you look
Sea so quiet has no fight
The calm before the storm delusion
Tonight will reflect
The luster of the moon and
Perhaps, if we’re lucky will echo
The call of the migrating loon
