THE CHESAPEAKE

Yesterday,
The sun rose serenely
and a glimmering strip
of golden red
spilled across
the calm and sparkling bay
And happiness and love
touched the day.

Today,
The sun rises and
through the dreary clouds
the light spits upon
the rough and tumultuous bay
And white caps crest the waves
And confusion and pain are born.

Tomorrow,
The sun will rise ...

Julie Ann Ettiott
