Three Mile Harbor Long Island (a poem based on Thomas Moran's Painting "Three Mile Harbor Long Island")
The sun slowly sunk
beneath the horizon
ending her vigil over the Earth
for the moon to take her place
with a brilliant scene
of painted fire
and purple smoke clouds
a flash of intensity before
sleep
Beneath the sun lies a lake
reflecting the flames
a sailboat drifts across
the serene waters
catching the breeze
On the shore
grow trees all scrambling
for the light
mourning its passing until
the next morning
A solitary man walks
unnoticed
beneath their boughs
a wraith amongst the shadows
who at the passing of the sun rejoice
