Daylight’s End

The day's ending reached,
dusk leaping towards darkness.
Ripples of silence lap patiently,
hues of creamy yellow reflecting back the daylight's end.
Shades of denim and midnight blue wash under the boards,
the collapsed umbrellas breath sighs of relief.
The shady figure bent over
arms stretched out behind life,
ready to break the peace of the blues
The water braces itself to be broken apart.
