Damn...That night was extra ordinary, 
A stunning thick blanket
of stars....


The night called in a hush 
A somber reverie,
A settling fog that intended to stay. 


Moonbeam poured a pale milky white ray 
like lights of pearls 
accompanying the stars.

I cradled my warm coffee 
I knew not which way led to my destination
my heart only followed the docks. 
And the fir trees that lined my horizon in the distance.
