The sun sets through clouds leaving an orange glow of the waves at the beach.

The last sunset

Posted on by Bruce

When it goes down 

there will be no talk 

of saving the ship. 

No illusions that if 

we close a bulkhead 

door or plug a hole 

we will make it back 

to shore. Home 

is out of reach 

so let us gather 

at the rails to watch 

the beautiful sun set 

one last time as the sea 

laps our feet.
