Walking Along the Shore

Circling above the shore, watching the gulls Squawking loudly above the ocean’s roar, Hungry for every morsel, never any lulls Watching the gulls circling above the shore. Freighters on the horizon slowly moving On the ocean’s surface laden with provision, The supply chain, I see, is finally improving Slowly moving freighters on the horizon. The urban skyline rising starkly to my right, A scene leaving so much to my surmising, Of city folks waking up in the morning light Starkly to my right, the urban skyline rising. On my early morning walk along the shore In habitual silence, I stand there and gawk Wondering what this new day has in store Along the shore on my early morning walk.

I wish I were. If my niece and I do not go to Vietnam in December or January, I will be going back to Mexico for at least a week sometime in the near future. I love it.

Thank you, Michael. When I get back to the ocean, I'll invite you to come and take that walk with me.

There is no better place to take a stroll Milton, noisy with the sound of the waves crashing along with the squaking of the Gulls yet I find it a soothing environment. Tom

It is, indeed, Tom, and one of my favorite places to be for relaxation. I always look forward to a trip to the beach whether it be one of our coastal or in PV, Mexico.
