"Good Morning, World!"

MY SUN HAS SET

The Hawk West Desk Window 9:30pm

My Sun Has Set

A Thousand Suns Away

I Am Quiet

In My Heart

Leaning Towards The Grey

“This Has Gone On Long Enough”

The Hawk Deck 6:25pm

My Husband said these words today

as He is a participant

in My Fate

but maybe I can be just

an observer

now that My Husband

Who still loves Me

can carry the weight

of the past twenty years

MORNING ON DECK

The Hawk Deck 10:50pm

I ate My Banana Breakfast

standing in My Sun Hat & Pyjamas

watching The Ocean sparkle

through The Summer Haze

Off to My Left

I could hear The Surf

& Birdsong all around

ushering me in

to My Next Existence
