"Time Out"

"Time Out"


I gaze upon the jewels of light,
leaves swaying in gentle time.
Waters sparkling, dancing bright,
to help a silent soul unwind.

Sunlit dreams flow out of sight,
quiet solitude, mine at last.
Lazy afternoon, feels so right
in my view, no boats nor mast.

Beautiful hues of autumns' fight,
giving way to a winter's grey.
Day yields to the coming night,
as night steals days' breath away.
