What I Miss Poem by Raymond Farrell
What I Miss
Now that I am
Living at 30 degrees latitude
There are things
I miss
About my northern home
I miss
The long summer days
That go on and on
And the glorious sunsets
Which often mark
The end
Of those days
There is something
Calming
About ending one's day
By watching
A sunset
Slowly build
Into a glorious display
Of color
And then waiting
For it to slowly recede
Into twilight
And finally
Darkness.
I go out every day at sunset (Which is now close to 9 PM at 42 degrees N,)
It seems to transition very quickly from day to night here and is dark by 7: 30

A precious moment watching the day recede and the night darkness take the sky! a miracle this planet of ours!
Sitting beside the Rideau Lake and watching a sunset build and seeing the spectacular colors is so calming and beautiful to behold.
