Oh how I miss the ocean
Give me the sticky salty air against my skin
Let me listen to the music of the waves
Roaring and crashing
The feel of my feet sinking into the sand
Hot to warm to cool
Face into the wind
Golden sun on my face
Planted in that little crescent of heaven on earth
Where land meets water meets sky meets peace
Standing on the edge
Looking off into the horizon
Into everything before me
Gift me the ocean
{ Dana Strand Beach, Dana Point, CA }
In slumber, existing in another world
I’m watching my story like a film
I love it so, this dreamland
I want to savor every scene, commit it to feeling and memory
But slowly the filter loosens and leaks, like it must
In come noises and warmth and light
I try to capture that feeling of dreamland, I want to grasp it and keep it close
Gradually the film fades even as I try to hold tight
And I try to make note of it to return to, bookmark the chapter, to return to my story
But I can’t…It’s not there to cross the line into the realm of day
Soon only snippets remain, glimpses really
I’m swimming to the top, desperately trying to see what is getting farther from me
Losing focus while I’m being pulled away
Only to hope to return at night

Superheroes and Megavillains duke it out in the background…
The draft rules the downstairs – The science of sports – Maybe – The business at least….
Hours until Friday…
My mind is distracted – Not by anything specific – But by everything…
Fleeting thoughts – Spiritual – Academic – Organic – Concrete…
Those which make me…
Things I can almost reach…
But not quite yet…
Until then I look out…
To Move Forward…
