"The moon disguising itself as the sun met the most romantic evening the beach had ever delightfully encountered. The ocean came alive as the streetlights of love reflected down from the fiery moon onto the water’s belly. I was confused by the dichotomy of my lady’s wonder. The night’s presence was so indelibly quiet, yet the roar of the ocean’s tide reminded me of her temperament. A small colony of rocks as if abandoned by their mother lay in the center of nowhere. They quietly faded in and out of view as the waves covered them from time to time with their tears. The bright stars seemed so very far away, and their loneliness begged for romance. So they dimmed their lights, and she was no longer afraid to come out. Romance, indeed, could now be seen singing by the water’s edge, riding the waves of the west wind, seducing the moon until he surrendered, and touching the ocean with a kiss; but it was not the ocean whom she really loved but the other guy who was not as handsome, but whose shine was so very bright. This romance could not be pardoned as she could be seen making love so innocently to the naked sky and asking the clouds for some privacy. Romance carried on by secretly courting the distant stars and showing them a love that eternity said was long overdue. The sand that slept on the beach watched this entire story unfold with jealous ambitions. Romance, however, had not forgotten their concerns for as she dried off on the sand their dreams were finally, finally fulfilled."
