Mother of Pearl
A mother of pearl sky
Overtones for the day’s finale
Coral colored horizon
burns into the sea
as the elusive green light
flashes farewell
to a surreal sunset
Fragrance of coconut
Floats on the evening air
Fading footprints
in the exsiccated sand
are taken back
by the gentle flow
of evening tide
Blue and yellow sails
fly on a lone schooner
still visible in the diminishing light
In the silence
a feeling of peace
descends on a tranquil scene
akin to paradise
