How pristine is the water
Like a mirror spread across the land
Edged with the earthy tonings
Of the warm golden sand

A cormorant is perched on a rock
Spreading his wings out to dry
Looking so much like a statue
Before he takes to the brilliant blue sky

The water is too cold to swim in
Just a stroll along the bay
What a wonderful place to visit
On such a glorious Autumn day

I come here so very often
To absorb this tranquil sight
How much inspiration it gives me
As I take my pen and begin to write

As I gaze out towards the horizon
I see many speckled shapes of white
These fishing boats will soon return
With a seafood smorgasboard tonight

Tonight the sun once again will settle
On this beautiful part of the world
As the night covers like a blanket
And the last of the gulls cries can be heard

Have you ever known the color grey when the nighttime finds you weak
I have, I've walked that road each time; that's where my angel sleeps
