Sunset By The Sea Poem by nafisa baheranwala

The sun seems bobbing
Up and down
With childish glee on the waves
It is reluctant to say goodbye to all
It sighs and hopes it's exit to stall -
Its rays let out a reluctant sigh.
Pausing to cool and get refreshed
Sun dips its head into the sea
The cool waters give relief
And let it know it now can flee..
The gathering darkness rears its head
as shadows start to expand and grow
the dolphins quickly seize their chance
to show the sun a whirling dance
resigned now to its daily fate
the sun darts forth its last bright ray
and takes a farewell look at me
as I relax and sip my tea -
I close my eyes and savour the peace
That now falls over land and sea
