pleasure boats
bob on the outgoing tide
silhouetted
against a wide red sky
the toys we have
in my advanced years
a found peace in simple things
the summer dusk
slips into night with an ease
I long to emulate

Thank you Gillena. It's been a bit cooler here and more conducive to contemplate natural surroundings.

Wow, I love this post! You captured what life is supposed to be about.
Thank you, Sandy. At 83, simple is better and doable, a slow walk, not a jog, with time to see and appreciate.

Beautiful, Adelaide. And yes, a deep yearning for that can only be hoped for - a gentle sliding into the night.
