A Glimpse of the Horizon

"A sunset is the sun’s fiery kiss to the night" 

Sunsets are so beautiful that they almost seem as if we were looking through the gates of Heaven.  

Mystery lies in the grains of sand

As they are washed upon the shore,

Life’s hourglass has turned the page

And the sun goes down once more.

I count the waves with Father Time

As we swap stories in the night,

We talk about the things to come

While looking for the morning light.

My mind went drifting off into space

When the moon told me his sorrow,

He sees the pain around the world

And prays we see tomorrow.

I saw a glimpse of Mother Nature

As a sea turtle surfed the tide,

Her soul was there to remind me

That life is a wonderful ride.

The eastern sky is about to break

And the horizon looks like gold,

So much power in the sunrise

Pure beauty waiting to unfold.

Whether your hopeless romantic like me, that lives for those special moments filled with beach blankets, a picnic basket filled with goodies and bottle of wine, or a artist looking for the best masterpiece to paint. This spot is the ideal place to take in the view of the horizon. A man made wall created to break the power of the waves, creates a gently filling pool deep enough to submerge yourself yet shallow enough for a toddler. This salt water pool is located in the quaint village of Black Rock.
