April 1st 2023
Gazing out at the horizon
which today looked like soft hills
we waited
the sunrise was late
it had a mountain to climb
one of cloud
gentle rolling
and peaking at the point of sunrise.
More people were out
standing, watching
surfing paddle boarding
there were fishermen, walkers, some sitting
plovers, pelicans, seagulls, and a heron
watching, waiting
yet as we say
the light shall overcome
the new sun did not disappoint.
It clambered up
shimmered gold
along the rim of clouds
and then burst into the world.
April the month of
of mists and mellow fruitfulness
had arrived
