Warm Blanket

Above the surging sea
Hangs the dying sun.
A sparkling spectrum of colors flow
Across the gleaming waters.
Seagulls, arcing through the dusk
Cry piteously
To a dully darkening sky.
Warm waves lap
Upon sand glistening wetly,
And the softly blowing breeze
Tickles the skin with its soft caress.
Tranquility lies
Like a warm blanket
On chilly nights.
