A Sunset Reverie

Published 30 September 2022
The deep blue sea beside me
White-tipped waves ready to break
Dolphins diving, fish flying
The great blue whale roaming waters beneath
A tiger shark lying in wait, for its prey
But above the watery depths,
A whole new world
The fiery red-orange sun sinking beneath the now purple ocean
A flock of seagulls squawking merrily
A solitary albatross winging its way over the wind-blown waves
Two eagles competing for a fishy dinner
The last rays of sunshine catching the sail of a sleeping yacht
The tide now rising, taking anything in its way
Moonlight shining on footprints in the sand
Came at last, the night.
