The Anchored Sun

I love to sit in front of the sea, attuned to its mighty roars and the way it tirelessly kisses the shore. Especially beautiful when the sun is setting on the horizon as if releasing all of its tiredness of holding the light of the day into the cool waters An orange ball disappearing and rising again in the arms of a new day! My thoughts surf on waves As the sun drops her anchor And says her goodbyes Rising on show lines Into the waves of the sky Feeling a sea rave 16.4.2021 Contest: Moments of Reflection- Haibun Sponsor: Malabika Ray Choudhury

Beautiful, poetic sense in the prose section and lovely haikus, Carol. The ocean, and its relationship with the sun, is truly a mesmerizing experience. Wonderfully penned. Congratulations and blessings! Here's to more evenings at the beach.
