The breeze blows through my hair
As I sit and watch and wait.
The sun kisses my cheeks.
The waters stir the restlessness in my heart.
The dreams live on despite the storms that rage in their season.
I find comfort on the battered shore.
The waves toss and turn and leave their treasures.
Some treasures intact, some broken.
Life is like that.
The sun rises and brings us pleasure.
The sun sets and leaves its glorious memory.
People are like that.
The seagulls cry their greedy song.
The children sing with happy laughter.
The pelicans fly in constant search over the waters.
The hunters and the hunted.
Never-ending horror and bliss.
I like it like that.
You may see what I see.
You may feel what I feel.
Your thoughts are different than mine.
Your dreams go in different directions.
My memories are mine alone.
I like it like that.
