Poem

Several years ago, I walked the Naples Pier with Ellen. There we reminisced and shared a cupcake, the view, and silent thoughts. Not long ago, a hurricane destroyed the pier. Below is my Poem titled Ellen's Pier.

Against that wicked stormy might
Came to pass the long-feared fight 
First standing proud and quietly brave
Then bled white by wind and wave

Her treasured timbers taken to sea
Fate can be cruel outside the lee
Those carved initials ripped away
As authors huddled ashore that day

This bridge of peace from the sand 
Once carried thoughts from the land 
A bench to rest, a rail to lean
The simplest wonder, untold serene

It gifted the site of dolphin or two
And delivered each day it’s ready view
Fondly it stands in my mind
That pier, cupcakes, and you entwined
