PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Sunset on the Inter Coastal  

I’m turning over backwards,

The earth a tilt away

From slipping the sun 

Below the horizon.

As day is done

The earth is rolling back 

Behind me,

I’m flipping like a tumbler 

Sliding backward 

Facing west

As the earth rotates 

Towards night. 

Sitting, in a backward facing chair,

I somersault in space

Watching the line of trees across the sound

Creep ever so much higher

As it takes the sun. 

Variegated yellow, ombre orange along the bottom

Casting hints of tints of pink

Halfway across the water. 

The blue and purples mix and play 

Lapping on the oyster rocks,

Reaching tranquil,

Into the hue of twilight.
