Poem Title:
Poem
A light wind gently rocks our sailboat as breezes begin to pick up on the sun drenched dock. Cable wires rap and tap upon the mast as daylight filters thinly through the clouds. Egrets begin to peck around the gangway foraging for scraps from bugs or grubs. Great blue heron busily prepares her nest high upon the eucalyptus tree. I sit and daydream on the harbor deck just enjoying the sea breeze, sights and sounds. Kelp beds sway rhythmically with the currents lapping the rocks at low tide, while massive flocks of birds perch purposefully near a lonely lighthouse high on the jetty. Open seas spread toward the horizon where pelicans busily dive bomb for fish. Quarry rocks surrounding the harbor create rocky protrusions, allowing ground squirrels to spy sailors earnestly jibing on ocean water tacking swiftly through the northwest winds. Under the pylons and gangways various starfish and mussels cling with schools of fish swimming in tandem. Xylophone sounds drift with music from a Yacht club hosting a spring concert. Zeal for the beauty of harbor life moves me. Written on 2/11/2015
