On the Pier

On The Pier

Blue waters thrill us so, 
fish flop upon the lake,
beauty is never fake,
soft glows the day

Breeze filtering the hours
waters glimmer and shine
promises are on line  
cool waves lap on

Sunset approaches soon
the pier ceding to dark
as light loses it's spark
waters caress
