[ The Beach Waves Have Such A Calming Sound ]
[ As The Waves Crash Onto The Ground ]
[ Then They Go Slowly Back Into The Sea ]
[ The Way They Move ]
[ Baffles Me ]
[ Is It The Pull Of The Moon ]
[ That Makes The Waves ]
[ Or The Heat Of The Sun @ Noon ]
[ That Makes The Water Concave ]
[ The Motion Of The Water Is Mesmerizing ]
[ The Sound Is Tranquilizing ]
[ I Can See How The Ocean Looks So Tame ]
[ But If You Turn Your Back ]
[ You Yourself Would Take The Blame ]
[ Sneaker Waves Are Properly Named As They Are ]
[ When A Wave Takes A Person By Surprise ]
[ It Can Drag Them Out Really Far ]
[ & Usually They Are Never To Be Seen Again ]
[ When A Wave Starts A Fight ]
[ It Usually Wins ]
[ Then The Mourning Period Starts ]
[ Because People Are Not Used To Being Apart ]
[ Yet ]

(488)▪︎[ Be Careful … 5•17•2020 ]
[ You Need To Live Your Life ]
[ Not Re-Live Your Past ]
[ Then Cut The Strife ]
[ So It Won’t Last ]
[ You Can Always Remember The Past Memories As Being
Great ]
[ But Those Thoughts ]
[ Should Not Be The Main Thing On Your Plate ]

(509)▪︎[ Beach Watching … 5•25•2020 ]
[ Here I Sit @ The Beach Watching The Sun Set ]
[ Is There A Higher Being? ]
[ Oh Yes, I Bet ]
[ As I Grow Older ]
[ I Find ]
[ That True Beauty Is In The Eye Of The Beholder ]
[ As The Sun Drops Below That Cloud ]
[ I Hear Nothing But Waves ]
[ The People Have Left, So There Is No Crowd ]
[ The Waves Are In A Constant Flow ]
[ Sometimes Fast ]
[ More Oftentimes Slow ]
[ In & Out, In & Out ]
[ What’s That All About? ]
[ Sometimes The Waves Go Up Far On The Sand ]
[ Sometimes The Waves Reach Out Like A Hand ]
[ Grabbing Everything It Can ]
[ Every Once In Awhile It’s Someone That Was Not Paying
Attention To Where They Are ]
[ I’ve Seen On T.V. ]
[ When Some Waves Enveloped A Car ]
[ When People Don’t Respect Mother Nature ]
[ They Could See That They Don’t Have Much Of A Future ]
[ But As I Sit Watching Mother Nature’s Best ]
[ I Hear The Heartbeat In My Chest ]
[ Oh It’s So Serene Up Here ]
[ My Heartfelt Feelings For The Ocean ]
[ Causes A Tear ]
[ I’m So Thankful That My Best Friend Brought Me Here Today ]
[ We Are Definitely Going To Find A Way ]
[ To Come Back For Another Stay ]
[ We Were Able To Spend The Day Until The Sun Went Down ]
[ There Were Very Few Times ]
[ When We Were The Only Ones Around ]
[ There Were People To The Left & To The Right ]
[ But Then Crowds Went Away ]
[ When The Day Lost Its Light ]
[ I Took More Pictures That Day Than I Ever Had ]
[ The Pictures Did Not Turn Out All That Bad ]
[ When I’ll Look @ Them In The Future ]
[ I Will Be Happy & Sad ]
[ I Am Ecstatic Of How Fun The Day Turned Out To Be ]
[ But Sad Because It Will Be A Reminder ]
[ That My Best Friend Maria Will Not Be The Caregiver For Me ]

(566)▪︎[ Strikes A Nerve … 6•16•2020 ]
[ Sometimes Things, Words, Events Really Hit Close To Home ]
[ Where Or When Did This Start ]
[ That Is Not Known ]
[ When I Was Very Young, I Had A Bad Night ]
[ It Was Because My Dad Was Drunk ]
[ So He & His Girlfriend Decided To Argue & Fight ]
[ My Dad Made The Worst Decision He Had Ever Made ]
[ He Got His Gun ]
[ & It Was His Life That He Gave ]
[ It Was Not Fun ]
[ To See His Name On A Grave ]
[ But The Rest Of Us @ Home That Night Survived ]
[ But Was I Really Alive? ]
[ There Have Been Bumps & Turns ]
[ Suntans & Burns ]
[ Everybody Had Bad Events Growing Up ]
[ Every Kid Had Times When They Just Wanted To Keep
Their Eyes Shut ]
[ But The Point Is To Get Back Up & Fight Again & Again ]
[ That Is The Only Way You Win ]
[ But My Friends, I Write My Thoughts & I Feel What I Write ]
[ Nobody Says What Is Wrong Or Right ]
[ I Just Want To Turn On The Light ]
[ To Begin Another Day ]
[ To Find A Way ]
[ To Write What I Want To Say ]
[ It’s Not Wrong ]
[ To Have Those Moments When You Don’t Feel Strong ]
[ Don’t Make Hasty Decisions, Without Thinking Ahead ]

[ Lay Your Head Down On Your Bed ]
[ & Go To Sleep ]

[ Where Is The Elusive Unicorn ]
[ I Feel That I’ve Been Searching For Her ]
[ 21 Years After I Was Born ]
[ What City, Or State Should I Look? ]
[ There Is No ( UNICORN ) Definition ]
[ In Any Magazine Or Book ]
[ Does She Have Black, Brown, Red Or Blonde Hair ]
[ Is Her Skin Tan, Or Fair? ]
[ I Won’t Know ]
[ Until I See Her Standing Right There ]
[ Will She Ever Stand In One Place? ]
[ So I Could Turn Her Around ]
[ & See Her Face? ]
[ Does Every Guy Search For A Unicorn Of Their Own? ]
[ Or Is This Quest ]
[ For Me To Complete All Alone? ]
[ I Climb Up On Every Perch ]
[ In Sight ]
[ So I Can Search & Search ]
[ Until There Is No More Light ]
[ I Hear The Tic-Tok, Tic-Tok ]
[ Of The Wall Clock ]
[ I Get Tired After A Walk ]
[ Around The Block ]
[ Then The Alarm Clock Goes Off & Shakes ]
[ Every Morning ]
[ This How I Wake ]
[ Nothing Is Boring ]
[ After The Deep Breath’s I Take ]
[ Through All This Time It Seems ]
[ That The Unsuccessful Search Has Just Been In My Dreams ]
[ Because My Dream Told Me That My Unicorn Has Always Been
In My Own House ]
[ For When I Look In The Bed Next To Me ]
[ My Unicorn Has Always Been My Spouse ]
[ For The Last 26 Years Of My Life ]
[ My Unicorn Has Always Been My Beautiful Wife ]

[ But From My Point Of View ]
[ Mine Has ]
[ So I Wish Yours Does Too! ]

Up With This Plan ]
[ I’m Glad That The Military Eventually Tracked ]

[ That Is Too Bad He Died Such A Peaceful Death ]
[ Even He Couldn’t Hide ]
[ Using His Wealth ]
[ It Took Awhile For Them To Raise Their Hand ]
[ To Take The Credit ]
[ For Seeing This Through Under Their Command ]
[ But There Was Not Even The Slightest Bit ]
[ Of Some Kinds Of Demand ]
[ No Ransom Was Asked For ]
[ There Was No Knocking On The Door ]
[ To Give Any Warning Of This Horror ]
[ Or Even The Slightest Word ]
[ That There Could Be More ]
[ Bombings, Highjackings Or Hostages Taken ]
[ No One Knows What Else Is In The Making ]
