blakeney 202070

we stood beside a river

near the sea

at sunset

the dappled sky reflected

calm all around

gulls and boats

calling and lapping

a rhythm in my life

insignificant in space

and time

but bringing calm

I could stand

for hours

wallowing in the mystery of existence

or creation

just a blade of grass

a sprig of wildflowers

bringing brightness

to the end of another

summers day

and tomorrow is always

and then another evening comes

emotions flow

considering eternity

I'm sitting

captured

by another sunset

looking at the power

of the universal

looking at the patterns of clouds

enfolding the evening horizon

looking at the pinks

and yellows

the end of yet another summer day

Our world and all it holds

creates imaginings

beyond our tiny reality

because it exists

and because we exist

within it

is there anything more
