Taste and see, His Goodness
from the time I was 3 years old
I have known the ocean
raised in Key West on the shore
the smell of the sea air
touching
feeling the mist of the spray of waves
on a stormy day.
at 15,
on a class "field day",
went to the ocean shore
to find horseshoe crabs
remarkable creatures
tender, yet
protected by a hardshell.
thinking of them now
reminds me of an abused child,
tender,
yet hardshelled,
protecting
their innocent heart
loving the ocean.
2003,
going to california for the first time
arriving and walking to the ocean
1 mile away, easily seen
smelling the air
remembering the burn
in my nostrils, loving it.
half a mile away
hearing the roar of the waves
dashing and crashing on the rocks
5 feet away
now bare foot in warm sand
my heart skips a beat.
I see a dolphin jump high
out of the ocean, as if just for "me"
the joy that rips through my mind
and I laugh, cry and thank my God
for a wonderful sight
at the ocean.
