Sunset

sunset

the sun on the 
ocean illuminates the
sky with deepest orange
the ocean beneath laps
in ever quietly
it is the end of day
and all is calm
overhead a seagull
flies freely
swooping into
land upon the shore
the sun is now setting
the sky's changed
forever more

                  jerri ward
                          7/10

Another beauty. If you ever decide to do a poetry chapbook, I think it may have to be one with a cover of a beach and ocean. You are so drawn to the water. maybe you are Destiny 7 in numerology? That is my destiny. It's the number of the loner who enjoys the water! Luv, Andrea
