Paradise Waters of the Gulf

Green the confusing reverence of the place the holy-waters of the gulf white eucharist sand trucked-in sunday anew and flowers ever fresh renew the question I watch clouds west overrun spilling sun in the horizon and comes rain each day warm same time same slow way like the same song then I think such simple acts as prayer hands together press or happiness gone to hearts reach again. Unable to feel these overtures of sky and air and light yet might I find reason here to live if at all _________________ ©© 2000

The music is tricky. The versification (believe it or not) is the product of huge abstractions ~ the thing was turning into a book ~ how to reveal the simple truth; e.g.; wasting time at the beach. :-)

You'd be amazed by how popular Southwest Florida beaches are ~ with imported white-sand, perennial flowering plants and balmy green water ~ they call it "Paradise", but the broken-hearted call it: ~ "A pair of dice ". - R.W.
