Twilight

T ime of day I like best. W hen birds are settling down to rest. I walk along the water's edge. L et summer breeze my face caress. I nvariably I am alone. G one are locals and tourists home. H ave even sneaked a skinny swim. T hese times my soul is one with Him.

The beach is Rathmullan, about 15 minutes drive. The closest to Letterkenny. Having grown up in a village by the sea, it's nice to still be not too far from the ocean I grew up with. At the far end, I can ensure no one will arrive upon me unexpectedly.

Lovely poem, Jean. I would have loved to be one of those nesting birds close by, while you were sneaking your skinny swim:):)
