“The waters of the seas are stilled” #poem #poetry #verse #writing

The waters of the seas are stilled 
And the serene moon 
Casts its benign regard 
Over the placid scene below 
Dispensing blandishments 
Upon the seascape entire 
Bathing the monumental walls that grace the red cliffs
In an albedo opalescent 
That illuminates the hilltops in hues of silver
Adorning with a halo
The heights that overlook the bejewelled bay
And flooding the length of the sandy beach 
With a myriad lights pearlescent  
As it glisters with joy unbounded 
Beneath the sublime blessings celestial 
While the smooth surface of the deep
Basks in the light of pale cream 
By the mighty star of night bestowed 
Upon the tranquil realm untroubled 
One blessed eventide
