standing in solitude
eyes closed relaxed shut
breathe in through nostrils
smell the heart of the town
fishy yet crisp and so clean
imagine swimming seaweed
grainy sand rocks cutting scratching feet
can't see under too much junk
ducks swim ten feet away
not bothered by me not afraid
it is good for I could never hurt
try as I do to get a closer look
turn backs streamline
feel breeze touching all parts of me
soothing mind body soul
cools neck slips in through shirtsleeves
tickling skin chills down back
no creases on forehead
sounds are many
gentle peaceful rustling
of leaves on trees
an eternal encore to the Almighty
perro never ceases to express
his loud mismo cry
to the disappointment of the neighborhood
everpresent gaggles and skeins
leave their mark of approval
on many a pier
laughing and chuckling all the way
lapping of water on
green grassy shore
backup for the soul
occasional motor reality check
needed once in a while
moon sister luna
hands down generously
onmipresent light
reflected of her Father
bright glints on water
straight line points to me
child of the Earth
squint eyes to look closer
sign of the cross
meant just for me
for everyone to see
