...Bay....Terrace...At Sunset Time Poem by James B. Earley

San Pablo Bay across the way
....Bay Terrace....at sunset time
Mt. Tamalpais its lofty perch
.....Above the scene...sublime

Every day that comes its way
....Brings evening's sinking sun
Casting shadow's fading light...
Upon Mother Earth's...divining one

The "sleeping maiden" some might say
....To others.....just a peak
A quaint whimsical distant voice
....In subtle ways.....the mountain speaks

An eloquence from its lofty perch
.....Above....the scene...sublime
San Pablo Bay across the way
...Bay Terrace...at sunset time


Author's note:
Dedicated to Barbara Kondylis, with appreciation.

Barbara, I simply adore our picturesque view of Mt. Tamalpais - this extraordinary natural phenomenon....we're so privileged....to share. The accompanying composition was written especially for you. Take care.
