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
