Let’s go for a walk I said to her
Bit cold she said but it’s nice
Rubbing shoulders
Holding hands
Looked up…looked twice

There in all its glory
The sky opening up its story
Blink and the clouds move
Don’t blink and watch the waves move
We paused

Wanted you to know about this
How to know it’s true
Place you in the frame
No longer just a claim
Wanted you to see this view

This is the namal
What we call the port
Where boats one docked
Fishermen fought
Over housewives sought

We sat
Could stand no more
To see such skies
Such moving skies
We needed a floor

Every moment brought change
The coffee could wait
Whip out the phone
Before it’s too late
Be the only one to catch the moment

Or not the only one…

Indeed not the only one
With finger on trigger
Eye at the ready
Viewfinder raised
Who can resist

Redder and redder
The sun sinks slowly south
Each tuft of cloud reflecting
Warming to the moment
As evening falls

One lamp
That’s all we have to offer
But it will be enough
See its light
Its power over all

For this is the lamp of the skies
Stand tall
While all around is small
Be wise
Until again sun rise
