A long sunset murmur of the water
horizon’s mirrored colors ripple
A fish jumps for a fly
shatter the moment’s tranquility
Twilight darkens the liquid
turns it into a black looking glass
reflects the void of space within us
recalls crawling out of tidewater
in the beginning when life began
“A long sunset murmur of the water” is a very evocative way in which to begin this poem. It speaks of a nonverbal form of communication evident throughout nature.
