This silence
At sunset
On Lake Michigan
Is like finally
Understanding
The passage of time

There is something
Gently demanding
Of attention
In the last light going
Disappearing from
All the scenes

Isn’t it then
A life after death
Of the best of us
Though not as frenetic
As before

To be left in peace
With enough to eat
And drink while waiting
For whatever’s next
Is all perhaps that’s now
Realistically wanted
And nothing more

By these weathered couples
And singles who walk
Along the pier or sit in chairs
Along the shore

If there’s any movement
At all it’s very slow
As the sun goes down

Sunset is a wonderful time of day...and more so when you can watch it over the water...I like the visuals of this poem...well done

Good reasoning thoughts and a peaceful scene
for a nightcap.

Images nicely portrayed.
