How Long?
by George Hoernerthe sun slides south
pulling summer with it
but remnants remain
providing hope to surviving
sun servants still savoring
those last rays raining
from the sky as the surf
still pounds the shore
with no hint that it measures
the reach of each wave
rolling up the beach and back
as seagulls stalk for food
while time ponders
how much longer
it must measure
the grains of existence
