The reflection,

Of the evening sun.

On the water, 

The yellow, 

Like an egg. 

How sweetly it was shining. 

From above, 

From below,

Poetic. 

The trees on water,

Forming small, continuous

Islands.

They'd separate, 

A river, 

Or something of the sort.

And the opposite side, 

A man-made beach, 

Greystones, 

They were making a hill. 

A hill to meet a beach,

I said to myself, 

"These people! 

So intelligent.”
