Another Day

Another Day

Sentient lights on the water

radiate soft rippling glows

illuminating what lies below.

Soft quacking of ducks as the

day begins, signalling to all:

it is near dawn, the perfect time of day.

As the dark gently lifts over

the Baltimore skyline,

buildings become silhouettes

on the sky line.

Creaks as the lines stretch,

moving their charges so

gently with the tide.

All is well with the world.

Anchorage apartments begin

to show lights as people rise

for the day,

for yet another day.
