Ocean Sunset by Michael I stayed at the ocean until sunset, watching dolphins play, waves splashing against the seawall with great displays of foam and spray. As sun began setting the water changed from dark blue to jade green and then caught colors of the falling day and painted itself accordingly. Just as the sun was about to drop completely out of sight I watched it light the moon and prepare the sky for coming of night. First stars appeared. A mist began rolling in from the ocean and the shoreline soon became damp with fog. I spoke to a pretty young woman gathering shells. She said she was gathering them so they could be spread across the tables at her wedding. I gave her the ones I’d been collecting and watched as she smiled. As darkness came I made my way home.

Michael--Thank you for painting the ocean's sunset on the east coast for me. One day you will see it slip into the sea in California. This was a beautiful poem, and a great gift, the shells. Hugs! |

Oh, Michael. Now you've made me just a bit homesick for the coast...any coast! I spent many hours collecting seashells and driftwood for my kinetic sculptures, and watching sunsets and sunrises was always a spiritual moment for me. Thank you for warming my heart tonight (and it is -20F outside now, going to -30F by Sat!) Why am I here? Why am I not strolling on the beaches at sunset? Why? Maybe next year. |
