The morning after the night before
Standing on a beach
Looking out to sea
What’s changed
Nothing
Sea
Beach
Clouds
Rocks
Pools
Cold
Wind
Birds
Shadows
All the same
As the night before
Just the light
Yes the light has changed
Soft dappled sunlight
Streaming through the clouds
Not moonlight
Like the night before
Moonlight is best
It hides the things
We see in daylight
Things we’d rather
Hide undercover of
A moon’s half light
