AT PEACE

Lights reflecting on the water
Way out across the bay
As darkness of night is ending
Another sunny day.

They flicker as the gentle breeze
Blows seaward from the land
Just the way Old Mother Nature
Had this whole day all planned.

The gulls are asleep and quiet
The fish will jump all night
As I look across the water
It's such a lovely sight.

Boats gently rocking at the dock
Of every shape and size
They're lighted by a slice of moon
And stars up in the sky.

A solitude and peacefulness
Now settles over me.
It tells me that I've come back home  
I've come back to the sea.

nice 'write!'

I'm especially fond of the ending:

"A solitude and peacefulness
Now settles over me.
It tells me that I've come back home  
I've come back to the sea."

applause!
