Boating at sunset

sunsets are so special when you are boating

drifting in a gentle breeze

sipping wine and playing soft music

watching the sun kiss the horizon

as she reflects in the water

and paints the clouds pink

slowly falling out of view

her last gasp is almost audible

before the night sky creeps in

the moon becomes the bright queen of the night

stars and planets emerge from the sunless sky

night time is also special when you are boating

until you hit a crab pot while cruising in the dark
