(032)▪︎[ A Second Stop … 1•12•2023 ]

[ Pacific City Was The Second Stop ]
[ The First Was Burger King ]
[ So You Could Get A Couple Sandwiches & A Pop ]

[ The Sand Seemed To Be Never Ending ]
[ Then Bending ]

[ Around The Corner Of The Water ]
[ The Air Was Cool Enough ]
[ Without The Need To Be Any Hotter ]

[ There Were Clusters Of Clouds Here & There ]
[ We Walked On The Sand ]
[ Without A Concern In The Air ]

[ Or A Single Worry On Your Mind ]
[ @ Least ]
[ Not The Concerning Kind ]

[ Then It Was Off To The Sands Lake Recreational Area Spot ]
[ We Found It Closed ]
[ & When We Looked On The Map ]
[ It Was Just Another Dot ]

[ Anderson View Point Had Quite The View ]
[ & The Scenery Was So Beautiful Too ]

[ Then It Was Quite The Drive ]
[ To Oceanside ]

[ We Took Some Selfie’s Of Ourselves ]
[ Because We Didn’t Want To Take A Picture ]
[ Of Anyone Else ]

[ Now We Are Off ]
[ To See The Lighthouse ]
[ Up On Top ]

[ The Old Oregon Smokehouse Seafood Market Was Where
We Stopped & Ate ]
[ & The Fish -n Chips Tasted Great ]

[ The Fresh Fish Was Battered Just Right ]
[ It Was Not Too Heavy ]
[ It Was Not Too Light ]

[ Who Knows Where This Road Will Take Us ]
[ Because Our Car ]
[ Is Not A Tourist Bus ]

[ The Fish Peddlar Was Just On The Other Side Of
The Street Now ]
[ The Color Of The Building Makes You Go (WOW!) ]

[ The Seagulls Are Flying Everywhere ]
[ Floating On The Air ]

[ An Old Man Has Been Feeding Them Bread ]
[ He Even Put A Large Piece On His Head ]

[ Now He Is Playing The Harmonica Making A Very
Irritating Sound ]
[ He Chased Away The People ]
[ That Were Just Sitting On The Ground ]

[ Even Through His Sunglass Tint ]
[ He Failed To Take The Hint? ]

[ A Late Night Meal @ A Beach Denny’s ]
[ For You & Your Friend ]
[ It Definitely Wasn’t As Good ]
[ As You Remembered It To Be ]

[ There Was Only One Thing Missing ]
[ During Our Trip ]
[ & That Was The Daily Event Of The Sun & Water Kissing ]

[ The Clouds Are Too Low ]
[ & They Are Moving Too Slow ]

[ She Was Amazed That You Were Still Awake & Alive ]
[ For This Long Of A Drive ]

[ But Once Again You Had A Blast ]
[ Even With The Time Flying By So Fast ]
[ You Know That The Memories Of Being @ The Beach
With Your Best Friend ]
[ Will Forever Last ]

(1165)▪︎[ Down By The Ocean … 9•16•2019 ]

[ When You Close Your Eyes, What Do You See? ]
[ Are You Playing In The Sand? ]
[ @ The Edge Of The Sea? ]
[ You See Someone Running Towards You ]
[ & You Begin To Wonder (WHO CAN THAT BE?) ]

[ Then In The Blink Of Your Eye ]
[ There’s No More Guy ]
[ But, You Didn’t See Him Run Right By ]

[ So Where Did He Go? ]
[ He Wasn’t Going Slow ]

[ But He Wasn’t Going All That Fast ]
[ He Didn’t Run Past ]

[ You ]
[ Who? ]

[ Was He? ]
[ Why Can’t You See ]

[ Him, Anymore? ]
[ Did He Disappear Through A Door? ]

[ But Why Would A Door Be On The Beach? ]
[ & Then Have The Doorknob Just Out Of Reach? ]

[ But If You Can’t Grasp It, How Could He? ]
[ It Just Goes To Show ]
[ Anything Can Happen Down By The Sea ]

(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 ]

(042)▪︎[ A Good Day … 1•13•2021 ]

[ When You Watch The Huge Waves @ The Beach ]
[ Never Turn Your Back On The Breaking Waves ]
[ Because Unless You Are In The Downtown Area,
     You Are Always In Reach ]

[ If You Want To Have A Change In Your Lifestyle ]
[ You Should Stay @ The Beach For Awhile ]

[ The Sounds Of The Waves Can Cleanse Your Mind ]
[ There Won’t Be Any Bad Thoughts To Rewind ]

[ Over & Over In A Continuous Cycle ]
[ Reverting Your Mind Back To The Age When You
     Were Riding A Tricycle ]

[ But The Rhythmic Sounds Of The Waves Bring You
     Back ]
[ Making You Hungry For The Snack ]
[ That You Brought In A Brown Paper Sack ]

[ That You Have In The Trunk ]
[ But Leave The Tequila Alone ]
[ It Is Not The Right Circumstances Or Time To
     Get Drunk ]

[ Walk Down The Beach & Feel The Cool Sand Under
     Your Feet ]
[ The View That You Have In Front Of You Can’t Be Beat ]
[ It Is So Much Better Than Looking @ The Miles Of Cars
     Down Every Street ]

[ Time Flies When You Sit By Yourself ]
[ Though It Is Nice As You Look All Around ]
[ & Not See Or Hear Anyone Else ]

[ But Soon You Come Face To Face With Reality ]
[ You Look @ Your Watch ]
[ & Are Shocked To See ]

[ Two & A Half Hours Just Flew By ]
[ How? ]
[ Why? ]

[ But It Was A Good Way ]
[ To Spend Your Day ]

[ As Soon As You Plan On A Next Time ]
[ You Know That You Will Come Up With Another … Story ]

~ The End ~
