The stars begin to blink into view
While a harsh, salty wind blows.
The temperature drops.
The full moon glows in the sky
And illuminates the peaks of untamed waves.
The loud rushing
Of the immense waves crashing upon the shore
That pull your ankles towards the open sea.
The stars flicker
As they begin to disappear one-by-one
Behind the gloomy, fast clouds.
A threatening clap of thunder echoes from above
To cry a warning of the storm to come.
