The First Night

 

It's the first night on the deck

Chaise lounges arrived this morning

The air is cool and clear

And Mill Creek churns below

 

A passing jet

Breaks up the quiet of the moment

Landing lights on

Headed to PHL

 

It's quite the moment to reflect

So much to ponder

Weekend friends whose conversations

Got me thinking

 

I'm focused only on the positive

Only on the good things in my world

Especially this moment

So peaceful and serene

 

I'm a lucky guy

Not without challenges

But a lucky guy nonetheless

And that's a nice thought

 

On a clear night

The first night

Of hopefully many more

Over the creek - on the deck
