Water Views
I like the kind of water view
Where I can see the shore,
With lots of possibilities
To visit or explore.
I gaze at buildings, trees and parks
And wonder what it’s like
To live there or just spend some time
To wander ‘round or hike.
No matter if I’m on a boat
Or sitting on the land,
The river helps me to relax
In ways I understand.
However, on an ocean cruise,
With water all around,
I feel uneasy, knowing that
I’m far from solid ground.
What many may find calming
In a vista oh, so vast,
Has the opposite effect on me,
‘Til I see land at last.
