SUNRISE - MOONRISE
All alone - early morning - the first to put
my footprints on the brand new canvas - of
this brief edge of ocean - walking along
listening to the lapping of the water -
like the tongue of my chocolate lab -
at his silver bowl - walking along - before
the many more footprints of this day -
the sun to my left - out there rising up
from the ocean sky - before the heat -
before the simmering heat - before
the long of this day - and Lord, you give
me this day - this gift - and I’ll walk along
this same silver beach tonight - in the moon
light - thinking about the all of this day -
the first day - and all is good - and all is,
“Thank You God - in the cool of this evening!”
