Sunset

The sun sinks beyond the horizon,
Beyond the endless ocean,
Beyond the sandy shore.

The seashells dance,
The sand jumps for joy,
The turtles clap their flippers,
The fish leap from the deep blue depths.

The hermit crabs surface,
To join the joyful dance,
The water surrenders,
To the night sky.

The silvery moon,
Perched in the sky,
Its silvery silouette flickering on the water.

The water is dark,
Mirroring the sky,
With tiny silver spots,
The shadows of the stars.

When the sun rises,
The animals end their dance,
Until tomorrow, when the sun sets,
They will rest.
