by the ocean in the evening
sunlight's golden stream
reflecting on the water's heaving -
an enchanting scene

in which I sit and ponder
while trying to create
sounds which vibrate longer
before it is too late

sounds with which to listen
hypnotically enthralled
as evening sunlight glistens -
to rhyming I am called

by a glowing anode,
our electric star,
slipping into night mode
while I'm in my car

parked beside the ocean
the shimmering Salish Sea
whose golden liquid motion
is mesmerizing me...
