Two Shiny Eyes

 

Two Shiny Eyes

Two shiny eyes visible

through the swirling misty night

one reflected next to the other

 staring broodily through darkness

this brooding beast at rest

residing in its paradise

slumbering in this peaceful spot

just the sound of lapping water

undulating across the bay

this black and white atmosphere

so let this sleeping creature

rest on in its paradise

for as these eyes slowly close

passing on through the nightly arc

as darkness will slowly falls 

so as these two shiny eyes close

this slumbering beast lays still

asleep in its paradise.
