Setting sun shimmering on the bay

Multi-configured clouds

Frame this

glorious scene

Scent of sea engulfs

my senses

As gulls ride the

thermals heavenward

A fitting climax to an

all too insular summer

Devoid of

supernal inspiration

by nature’s handiwork

Ah, how the

muse performs

Her song of bliss

enlivened by this scene

Reveling in joy

at summer’s end

As the sun sets

in the west

Yet another

summer passes

I am transfixed by this

sublime summer’s end.
