The marsh grass
sways in the
night breeze

lapping waves
massage the shores
beneath a giant
live oak
covered in Spanish
moss

a belle of a
home glimmers
in the moonlight

a wedding cake
mansion graced
by two massive
double porches

marble stairs
cracked by time
lead to the
grand entrance

the home is
basked in a
glow

someone sits
way atop the
Georgian roof
surveying all below

a fragile
folding desk
holds up
a sturdy old
typewriter

the page is blank
a canvas waiting
to be explored

moments
pass

the cicadas
continue their
symphony

the typist begins
slowly letters appear

Night of the
Strawberry Moon
