Chasing Light

Dusk draws near and birds appear

No other boats are far or near

Surface breaks with fish and bait

Throttle revs it’s not too late

Sun drops low in golden glow

Wind erupts and starts to blow

The time is now to catch the bite

The time is now for chasing light

Water orange and yellow glare

Shouts and laughter fill the air

Surface churns with fish and birds

Bonds of friendship kindred words

Bending rods and drags that scream

Friends and family share a dream

The time is now to get things right

The time is now for chasing light

World turns grey with vanishing sun

Action slows it’s time to run

Following seas that build behind

Lifetime of memories that cross your mind

Joys and pains you’ve come to know

Hope for adventures still left to go

The time is now for living life

The time is now for chasing light
