Moon And The Ocean
The sky is dark, the moon is full,the ocean is calm

she dances across him, he relaxes and accepts her

this is neither an erotic dance nor a seductive one

this is the dancing of nature upon itself

the moons glistening on the calm waters

the waves crashing against the cold sand

the two continue this little dance until the dawn

where the sun takes over and she has her chance with the ocean

leaving the moon longing till the dusk

where they are reunited and joined by many more.

This is personal observation of nature in its beauty' it has special meaning to me because I lived near the water for so long, seeing couples pass by on the beaches. How they walked hand and hand only to long for someone else to do the same with. Then it dawned on me that the moon and water were a graceful couple. The story is told in 3rd person omniscient. You can tell as the speaker knows everything but isn't part of the story. Personification can be seen in this poem such as the water and moon having human traits. It's meant to be a spoken word poem.
