Basking

I lie here basking in late summer’s dwindling rays and I contemplate. . . all that which I have: knowledge, skills, comfort, good health, family and friends; those things I’ve always possessed; those wished for. . . now manifest. summer’s sun sets, yet harvest’s sunrise is coming. . . happiness warms me For DeLIGHT, Good Vibrations Poetry Contest
