A tropical vacation that I never shall forget The clearest cleanest ocean that I’ve ever seen as yet I dabbled in a rock pool with a bamboo handled net I told my wife, “It’s just for fun, to see what I might get.” She said, “I know you all too well, you’re looking for a pet, But look around, there’s...

Caught in a sea of memory Adrift with false security You claw for the shore But you need to see more You're drowning in your own history There's a lifeboat chartered on give and take You'll pay the price for the choice you make So play with the band Or paddle toward land Perhaps your ocean is merely a lake...
