Tropical Night

A Night at the Beach

The evening sun has set, a huge orange-red ball, sinking into the depths, leaving the sky in shades of rose, purple, and gray.  Silhouettes of palm trees, like silent sentries line the passage to the beach.  After a respectful transition, a full moon, like a large golden globe, lights a  silvery, shimmering path across the bay to a quiet shore.  The walkway is lined with hibiscus and a soft gulf breeze lifts the scent of  jasmine that is hidden in the shadows of the palms.  Myriad stars, are scattered like diamond dust across the vaults of the velvety blue-black carpet that is the sky tonight.  The only sounds are the muted rustle of palm fronds caressing each other in the playful breeze and the shushing of the tide as it reaches in to wash the shore and then retreats again.

Close you eyes….
