As Our Ferryboat Departs
Day’s end is an embrace
of cumulous clouds
hosting edge-of-sky
brilliance,
ocean’s surface
a reflecting dance
on Northumberland Strait
passengers
energized in friendship
cameras alive with memories
from their Prince Edward
island touring, and
footsteps across the
deck whisper a simple wish,
hurry back farewell kiss.
