Regaining Sanity

REGAINING SANITY I wake up to the waft of a warm sea breeze, The rock and roll of waves entice and tease, The thunderous African sea crashes down, But beyond this crashing and prancing, There is calm, Where surfers pattern the ocean forming A majestic human crown! We go down to the beach, it is early morn, Sight two whales and a large Pod of dolphins Which leap up and dive, repeating this action, Within a fraction of a fraction Of a second, until they Reach their destination. A wild paradise where seagulls fly above, Squawking diving and looking eagerly For their next meal, Even if they have to steal, From their comrades! The tide goes out with a forceful current, I saw a fin lurking close to shore, Perhaps two sharks a formidable pair. But several dolphins narrow their path, The sharks disappear! We spend the morning lying on golden sand, The sea was inviting but the waves Still crashing, dancing, frothing And churning. The suns gentle rays, Tickled the ocean, As if they have swallowed A love potion! And the water sparkled Resembling little diamonds As they bobbed up and down, The sea looked like a dance ball and Ladies wearing brilliant ball gowns. We go back to our flat and sit on our Spacious balcony, Watching the ocean and relaxing, And regaining, redefining our sanity! Ordered sushi from downstairs and with A glass of wine, It’s definitely now siesta time!
