Poem: "Ovation"

Ovation

as if in celebration of this day
the sun has prepared
a grand exit

clouds, sky, red, sand, breeze

reflection in calm waters
somehow coordinated in perfect unison
lucky fools overlook this grand pleasure daily
unlucky fools, like this kind observer,
gawk at such a spectacle

clouds, sky, red, sand, breeze

a lotus blossom drawn in the sand
by a lazy toe
the waves will claim it
as will the wind and inevitable rotation of sun from view
with this performance
relaxed, quiet, calm
I am
clouds, sky, red, sand, breeze
in Koh Tao
