Blank you #1 Poetic Asides Challenge Nov 20

 Thank You, Lord, for the Ocean

 

Thank You for the ocean

and how people like to bring their lawn chairs

and sit and watch it like they’re watching

the most fascinating TV show,

chatting with their companions

seeing what they can see and feeling what they can feel.

 

My sis and I did that yesterday.

We saw dolphins arcing in and out of the water,

the distinct profiles of pelicans traveling alone

or in flocks, occasionally divebombing fish.

And seals bobbing up

with their little bowling-ball heads.

 

And later my other sis and I

walked on the beach at sunset,

watching as the sky glowed pink.

We took pics of people walking,

dogs playing and even a nun in full habit

except for her bare feet

as she did kind of a dance at the water’s edge.
