Nights of the Beach

By Brianna

The sun drifts away slowly, but clearly everyday from the earth we live on, but The night arrives once again to teach its surroundings about life.
The shining moon dreams pleasantly as it lights the night sky for others. The large, beautiful, sparkling stars look down into the homes of young sleeping children, making sure they get a good nights rest.
The lonely palm trees shiver as they are left behind cold night, after cold night. The deep, big, Blue Ocean guides the waves for they cannot see well in the deep dark, blinding night.
The sand on the beach wisps around, for it is free from all the people in the night. The boardwalk listens to the music of the waves, and the wind shows the sand, and trees how to dance.
As the chilly night begins to decline, the energized morning dances up into the air. After that morning comes to an end, the night will celebrate its two hundred billionth birthday.
Tonight the shining moon id the fire for the huge cake candles, and the spotlight for the palm trees.
The wind will sing happy birthday, and the big beautiful stars will plan the whole party. Tonight, the palm trees will not be left behind, but they will dance for everyone, and express the lively night.
The night lays so many secrets; once everyone is asleep it's a whole different world. The night is alive, with feeling, emotion, and inspiration.
The night is an ongoing cycle, and every night will be full of dreams, hopes, and wishes. The natural environment that the night consists of expresses their feelings night in and night out.
