Picture and handwritten text

I was learning to sail, and spent my first night alone on the river, seeing the evening light go from golden to rose, to purple, to night. Made up a tune as I went along, and only realized a month later that I'd swiped the first part of the melody from one of my favorite Christmas carols, "Deck the Halls".
