My beautiful Carlsbad sunset view
Happens daily right on cue
Beauty always without fail
On cloudy days behind a veil
Delights my heart, stirs my soul
Fills my spirit, makes it whole
Seagulls quiet as pelicans pass
Gentle waves like crystal glass
Orange spills to touch my feet
I feel connected and complete
Soft sea breeze caress my face
Close my eyes and feel the grace
Brings me peace, tranquility
Ocean sounds my destiny
Precious moments have their play
Closing curtains of my day
Sunset arrives I am at peace
For me it signals day’s release
