Late August

Laughter fills the night
As I say goodbye to my twenties
Stars barely visible behind the clouds
Should have been raining by now
And yet it was nice enough to have a fire
Then stand out on the dock
Reflecting on the day we had
The weather stayed nice for longer
Than the weatherman said
Feeling grateful for this moment
More than ready to begin my next decade
Anticipating where life could take me
