Elizabeth Kamosa-
The night is just a whisper
A quiet shadowed soul.
The moon laughs and glows,
Its yellowed belly, whole.
The stars are like sopranos,
each a different note.
And the sky is a gentle hum
that reflects onto the moat.
The waves are overlapping voices
that restlessly rise and fall.
They echo off the cliffs
and onto the shores they crawl.
And the sand absorbs the gossip
It always has a listening ear.
Soon the sand tells the shells
before the memories disappear.
Then a curious wanderer finds
that empty but filled shell.
They hold it up to their ear
and hear a night of secrets spelled.
