i have a hard time

but maybe not, not really

maybe just like all some

i can feel the spray

many surfers out today

the rocks are green

. . . [5/13/23]

. . .

it's warm and cold now

the weather says it will warm

this is pretty good

. . . [5/13/23]

. . .

walking out on rocks

it looks so hard but they go

they go out to surf

. . . [5/13/23]

. . .

dolphins out there too

some try to swim out to them

fun to watch 'em try

. . . [5/13/23]

. . .

the ocean smells good

just goes in and brings some peace

inhale and exhale

. . . [5/13/23]

. . .

the sand massages

the feet crave this all week long

it's pretty good here

. . . [5/13/23]

. . .

birds, surfers and us

having a good morning we

this is the life here

. . . [5/13/23]

. . .

what is this summer

you speak of like it might come

it doesn't seem near

. . . [5/13/23]

. . .

so many dolphins

they are back and forth and back

it doesn't get old

. . . [5/13/23]

. . .
