Plagiarist
I track my sleepy footprints down to the salty sea,
with only tide and sand to keep me company.
Now and then a wispy cloud silvers the rising moon,
breaking into filigree, then vanishing too soon.
A moonbeam cracks the tidal swell and draws a slender line,
whispering this story that now I claim as mine.
Huddling on the outskirts of wave and slivered light,
I nonetheless declare my self as part of this calm night.
Sly interloper that I am, still all I hear and see
opens up its arms and seems to welcome me.
For the Sunday Whirl the prompt words are: draw cracks sly sliver sleepy footprints stories moon outskirts wispy sky sea
What a lovely poem crafted from these words.
