Moonlight on Gigante beach

I catch a ripple of quicksilver

Inside a cresting wave

A breathless glimpse of the fringe of some

Underwater spectacular

The lights of Atlantis, or

The fireworks of mating fish

The wave slams in spume and spray

Then, gentled, fizzes about my feet

Singing

"Each night the moonlight dances

Across me as I rise

And one night I will catch her

And she will be my bride."
