A Distant Ship's Smoke on the Horizon

prints of the original oil painting by Ken Dahl

Inspired from a photo I took of a woman sitting in the morning rain waiting for a friend at the waterfront pier in Tacoma, Washington.

Only Room for One

She bounces there 
And she flies 
When its empty 
She cries 
But when she sees the truth 
She lies 
  
Like a soft, soothing sunset 
Yet hard as a rock 
Like the small, white stones 
She finds along the water 
Believing they were a gift 
  
A candle 
And a cup of tea 
Stargazing at three
