Lapping at earth’s floor
Taking some but leaving more
Waves washing the shore

Beams of lost sunlight
Hand of God sets from our sight
Bringing on the night

Sweeping twilight skies
Pull us toward nighttime sighs
Till we reach sunrise

Eyes stealing a glance
Little hands will take a chance
Raccoons own romance

Prairie sounds of dawn
Shadows drift, as they grow long
Winds whisper their song

The bridges luring me
Toward an unknown destiny
Beckons endlessly

A bridge is implied
Where the chasm became wide
Across the divide

Winter's dying light
Hovers on the edge of night
Soon the world turns white

Autumn leaves flutter
As nature ebbs and mutters
Its mirror shudders

Sunrise dances bright
Rainbows made of spectral light
Chasing off the night

Sunset's out of sight
Clouds reflect the loss of light
Heaven falls to night

Driftwood lost its tide
Keeping safe whatever hides
Sand and stones inside

Silhouettes of lace
Echoing a distant place
Palms swaying with grace

Buzzing in the air
Touching down without a care
Flitting everywhere
