Dusk

The river ripples as it flows, Reflecting clouds on high. A duck dives down and I suppose When he comes up, he'll fly. The sky turns pink; the buoy light Starts flashing neon green. The day surrenders to the night, A sight that's seldom seen. How lovely just to sit and think As Nature steals the show And carries me right to the brink Of where I need to go.

Beautifully crafted words! As art and poetry often compliment one another, I first found your writings in a comment relating to some artwork on Flickr. I have since become a fan! www.flickr.com/photos/101051546@N04/26925275451/

thank you so much for tracking me down and commenting on this poem, winter walker! i don't know how it ended up on flickr, a site i know very little about, but i'm glad to know that some of my poems are out there and getting read. by the way, i wrote this while on a river cruise, just watching the world go by as the sun was setting...

When we slip through the veil of light. Into a byss beyond our fright. We wake with knowing it's alright. No matter how bumpy the flight. When I'm fishing with my brother up north. We always wait until the cell tower turns red. Peace. :)
