A Sunset BloomThen we sat on the sand for some time and observed
How the oceans that cover the world were perturbedBy the tides from the orbiting moon overhead
"How relaxing the sound of the waves is," you said.I began to expound upon tidal effects
When you asked me to stop, looking somewhat perplexedSo I did not explain why the sunset turns red
And we watched the occurrence in silence instead. ():
