The Tide

An old window
Is cracked open
Just enough
For the sound
And the light
To come through

On the shore
Ocean waves are rising
Ocean waves are crashing
Deep in the forest
Cicadas are buzzing
Frogs are calling

Hidden in the shadows
Somber shades
Of blue and green
Solitary glimmers
Of gold and black

Each of them
Calling and singing
With hopeful desperation
Grieving in the night
