Where the Sun Meets the Water
The sun set beyond the horizon and twilight was approaching over the open ocean. The remaining rays of light left streaks of orange in the sky, the water now darker than a denim blue. The contrast appeared to create a line on the horizon, broken only by the silhouetted mass of the schooner one mile ahead. The pointed heads of the sails created a peak in the line, resembling the graph of a man's heartbeat in his dying breath.
