Sunset on the Hill 2006-11-25

We made it up just in time -
a long walk, a long talk -
the sun setting sublime
and the flight of a hawk;

Gold waves on distant ocean
green swath of the next hill
the clouds now in motion
and the wind starts to chill

Fog-sea rolls over the crest,
glimpse the sun 'fore it's gone.
Time to stand from our rest;
next year perhaps watch dawn.
