On the Pier

I sit on the pier sad
Imagine I was sun
Solitary, no one
near it, shuns all.

tired evening sun lowers
sea embraces it slow
the salt lessens sun’s glow
it cools in dark.

night sings a lullaby
music plays on the tide
mermaids merrily glide
it must rise strong.

Thanks, Faye. I thought that the pier is generally cheerful in the evening but a somber atmosphere does exist in nature simultaneously which could be highlighted. Mohan
