By Diana Raab
Tonight I sit on the beach
at the cusp
of yet another sunset.
How many does it make now,
as I approach my septuagenarian years?
I ask the horizon with its flat edges.
In its stillness, it stares back at me,
devoid of answers.
Nature is that way—
It gives us the needed
sanctuary but guards answers
as I watch my reflection
in its stillness.
