Inner Joy Savored

The awakening
of sunrise after nightfall
has faded to soft light blue.
A breaking of dawn
once dense darkness has lightened
into a gentle bright hue.

Walking on the shore
looking at the horizon
and hearing crashing beach waves.
Striding through wet sand
catching a seafaring breeze
while the incoming tide sways.

Harmonizing to
pleasant melodies in the
relaxing hours of night.
Humming a soothing
tune to savor calm moments
after long past the day's light.

Relishing sounds of
laughter among two siblings
capturing their happy times.
Cherishing lively
minutes shared between brothers
as they gladly sit and dine.

Watching the sunset
slowly fade in the distance
as dusk settles upon sky.
Solar heat passing
behind the edge of ocean's
cobalt stillness with a sigh.
