On Longport Jetty
Let us go for a jaunt on Longport jetty
Our thin peninsula of jagged moss rocks
Waves crash against the smooth raw surface
Blue against the slippery black
Between the cracks is danger upon each step
Will you take my hand and lift our spirits
Over the Jersey shore Sunday tranquil calm
Feelings settle there at the end of time
A sleepy sun sets, yawning down seconds
There is more love found in the simpler pleasures
Salty pungent smells well up in memory
Spread joy over the jetty evening dusk
As seagulls swoop down for a crust of bread
Bent wings skilled at catching
Beaks refuse to lose one single morsel to the sea
Hold on or the winds will carry you away
