Downwind whistles,
Fresh Atlantic chill,
Swell rolling, random wash astern,
My mermaid cleansing deck,
Swish swash,
Gliding through the ocean,
Vast multitude of cloud formations,
Sparse fluffy white cotton balls overspread,
Scattered collections of moisture overshadow,
Horizon befog varigate obscure gloom,
Setting sun cast flaming assemblage,
None alike,
Heavenly asterisks twinkle aplenty,
Sparkling galaxy glistens,
Moon rises from fire to glowing ball,
Howling moon radiates through,
Ocean sparkling,
Lunar shade dwindles,
Dawn aura blush of the morning,
Rising Sun spies upon,
Horizon fiery ablaze
