Far Out in The Harbor

Far Out in the Harbor

 

Far out in the harbor in the pink dusk

of a late June day, lies a schooner fast

to her anchor beneath the first quarter moon.

 

The softness of the scene mesmerizes me

and I imagine I can hear the rigging softly

click and ring against the swaying masts.

 

I quietly breathe in time to the gently

breaking surf. The nearby sounds of the Fiesta

are dampened by my meditation;

I am drawn into the temple of the harbor.

  1. As I read, my heart rate slows and I begin to “witness” Gloucester as I did as a child. Where did all those years go? How nice, a newcomer shows me the scenes once again. I thank you.
