White boats
With sunset wakes
Slowly make their way
Into the harbor

The car ferry
Tied up at dock
Seems a monument
To silence  Seagulls
Along the shore
Are still

A summer breeze
Bends the long grasses
As the last light disappears
A small bell rings

The moon rises
Casting a silver glow
On all the quiet houses

It’s hard to write
About someone
Who was stupid

I seem unable
To be truthful
No matter how
I try

I think you turned off all the romantics with those last few lines, John but I find this quite interesting and deliciously sarcastic.
