Freezing in VA, made me miss home, so thought I’d post a little something I wrote the day before I left…
A pelican flies by, one feathery wing dipped in the cool water, as if checking the temperature
A cool salty breeze tousles my curls and rustles through the palm fronds
The water laps around the dock as it’s carried to and fro by the tide
Puffy, cotton candy clouds drift by in a resplendent blue sky
The hot sun is leaving its kiss anywhere it touches bare flesh
A school of fish chasing their mid-afternoon meal ripple the peaceful water
The mangroves resonate with the songs and calls of the birds enjoying the mild winter
My eyelids grow heavy as I relax and soak it all in, like a massage
Ah, the beauty of a February day in Southwest Florida.
Long walks and dark chocolate
