SWIMMING THE ENGLISH CHANNEL, THEN FROM CUBA TO FLORIDA, AND NEXT, FROM CHINA TO CALIFORNIA, STOPPING BRIEFLY IN HAWAII, THE HSR, AN ELITE AND WELL KNOWN TRIATHLON COMPETITOR, IS REALLY LOOKING FOR A BIG TSUNAMI WAVE TO CATCH AND MAKE IT’S JOB OF CROSSING THE WIDE WATERS MUCH EASIER, so your “please get back to me next week because I’m reading your current blog post” smile, can build up enough courage to place your big toe in the warm shallow waters!
“Beautiful skies just love beautiful seas”
Lounging around
On this tropical island
Where it seems that
Time doesn’t pass at all
I take a look at your sleeping face
In the chair next to me
Your lips have a Mona Lisa
Curl to them
It’s almost like your secret dream
Is a closely-guarded secret
But that’s okay…because…
Beautiful secrets keep the heart warm
And make life worth living
And make one eagerly wake up
With verve and purpose the next day…
A sea gull walks right up to me
And seems to signal to me
To follow it
Into the palm trees, and thick ferns
So I follow it
Maybe it has some secrets, too…
We walk a little bit
And it stops by an old bottle
Then looks at me
Right in the eye
Then back to the bottle
I bend over to pick up the bottle…
I uncork what seems to be
A very old rum bottle
Not too unlike
The ones that pirates used to use
Hundreds of years ago…
There’s a rolled up paper
In the bottle
It’s a map…of this island…
And, yes, there are directions
With a large X marking a spot
Where maybe another secret is safe…
Now the bird loudly calls and flies off
After doing its job…
Hmmm!
Maybe there’s something in it
For the bird, or its interests…
I look up to the sky
Then around the area
To line up my directions
And start walking the way that
The map shows
But I stop in my tracks
Because I can’t just up and
Leave you
On the beach…
TO BE CONTINUED…
May you have many…are secrets Nature’s way of keeping our ears perked up?...a person is like the ocean, we can see and relate to the character and look of the surface, but what’s underneath, what’s hidden?…perfect storms merging together create gigantic gusts, so take cover!…smiles!
