Molten Gold

Sitting, looking at the harbor
The water tranquil as a still pond
I can see the masts of sailboats
The spiky docks like crude Tinkertoy
Nets, shacks and ropes telling of the work
That fishing and sailing requires

Yet the sun has begun its descent
The western sky holds thin clouds
Dispersing its color
So now these man-made things start to fall
Into silhouette where they turn
Into something less than the majestic trees
And the rocky crags that line this haven

So as the sky shifts color from white
To blue, to pink to yellow
It is all reflected
And I'm filled with wonder
At God's creation
As the water turns to molten Gold

Bill--The imagery in this is beautiful..the reflection of a poet's eye.
