Tonight they painted sunset
with a lavish hand
splashing red across the blue
to make a lavender so deep
the sea was jealous
shining greenly in the half light
spilled from the rushing sun
as he headed to his early
morning rendezvous
around the corner of the world.
Trees sulked in silhouette,
their colour gone as light
retreated, dragging day
behind it dropping little sparkles
soon diminished, on its way.
I paused to watch
a gleaming wavelet as
it stroked the sand,
smoothing all the furrows
of the day to nothing
as I used to stroke your forehead
just before I kissed you,
prelude to the night

smitten cheering

It's good to know you have sulking trees out there, too, Bajan (mine not only sulk; right now they're also throwing things)laugh

I especially liked that gleaming wavelet stroking the furrows out of the sand...hug kiss

bajanblue: Great line! wish I had written it.


It's not just a line, it's a reality... such an amazing experience, about 10 to 20 drummers show up on the beach every evening to say goodbye to the sun and welcome the moon, and after the sun slips completely away the fire dancers start... it's magic
