The Bay

 The Bay

   Wow.....soon to be sunset
   Still 85...
   The air barely moving
   Of course..it's low tide
   A smell in the air
   Fish, salt..and decay
   But look at that view
   Right here on the bay
   A kayak passes by
   A smile and a wave
   The swans and their young
   Enjoying this day
   This place I find solace
   Much peace is within
   Forgetting the woes
   Ignoring the sin
   As always this soothes me
   Lifes cares go away
   Nothing else matters
   Come the end of this day
   As the sun slowly sets
   And my eyes see the view
   I absorb all this beauty
   Wishing you saw it too.

It's all how you view it Jet, yes? The italics bother my eyes. I wonder why you use them? Good point and a nice reading :) Thanks, Mark FlexAbilities
