Tiny Spiders created a
Cobweb Interstate
In my closed-up office
Missed Autumn and the magic
The explosion of hues
Color gone now
A million leaves all curled up
Cracked, brown and dead

So dark a night
Only a single star
Can break through the clouds
Winds here so cool and damp
Waters gently lapping
Coming toward me
Leaving me behind
The white foam a subtle necklace
Offered to me by the Sea
The North Atlantic Sea
***
“Come to me”
It seems to whisper
Barely a hush as the small waves recede
As the small waves approach
“I will embrace you with my waters
My necklace soft around your body
Come closer to me
Do not fear me, Stranger
My enveloping arms
Will keep you forever
Come sleep in my Sea”
