The sun seems bobbing
Up and down
With childish glee on the waves
It is reluctant to say goodbye to all
It sighs and hopes it’s exit to stall -
Its rays let out a reluctant sigh.
Pausing to cool and get refreshed
Sun dips its head into the sea
The cool waters give relief
And let it know it now can flee..
The gathering darkness rears its head
as shadows start to expand and grow
the dolphins quickly seize their chance
to show the sun a whirling dance
resigned now to its daily fate
the sun darts forth its last bright ray
and takes a farewell look at me
as I relax and sip my tea -
I close my eyes and savour the peace
That now falls over land and sea

Breathtaking imagery that simply brings serenity 🌹
thank you so much for your positive comment - have a good day
Peaceful and calming a place on earth and in mind. Well written
glad you liked it - thank you so much..
You are most welcome
Nicely written. Your poem revolves around the sun setting over the sea, the activities of dolphins, and the speaker’s contemplative experience as they enjoy a moment of peace with a cup of tea.
thanks for capturing the essence of the poem - sunsets do give rise to contemplation...
Safina, this really moved me…there’s a gentle, steady calm running through it that feels lived and real. That image of the sun dipping into the sea, almost playfully, carries both joy and release…like the day quietly letting go. And that closing moment of stillness…you can feel it settle. Beautifully done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
so glad it resonated with you...it is definitely a peaceful feeling - and a feeling of release at having a good day...
Tranquility - the point when all seems right with world. Well savoured, Safina.
yes - at the moment, thankfully, all is well with my world, and i hope the serenity spreads...
There is such an inherent potential for peace in sunsets🕊️🙏🏻 🌅
exactly - and that is why maybe i have written earlier too about them - it's a fascinating and beautiful scene

Oh yes, it can be written about, again and again and in different ways too, I would imagine. 🕊️🙏
How beautiful is that .. truly my cup of tea ma'am .. Neville 😎🌻👍
Yes it’s a unique experience and a universal pleasure. Thanks for stopping by✌️💅
There’s a soft myth in this—sun as a tired traveler who still knows how to love the world on the way out.
You stretch the scene beautifully, but a few lines could cut sharper to match the strength of your imagery.
Thanks but I did not edit even if it seemed a bit longer as this was what flowed naturally from my mind. But will note for future 🙏🏼
