Berry Sunset

 I saw this once, 

A bright sunset sky 

Awash with warm colours

I had seawater in my eyes 

And peeling skin 

I kept a constant squint focused on the setting sun. 

Suddenly, the sky extended its hand and pointed to the horizon 

Right where the sun had just slipped away,

A dolphin leaped out of the water.

Gracious in expertise

And always on time

It drew a perfect circle with its tail

And dipped back into the ocean 

It’s figure stayed in my eyes, burning itself on my vision 

The dolphin’s fleeting presence left a silence in the sky 

And I swear his mate had stuck his head out to watch!
