Our Day At the Beach (The First of Several)

For whatever we lose (like a you or a me),

Racing the waves:

The sky was gray but her heart was not:

Lounging later:

Encountering immensity:

   That last photo is truly wonderful.

   It makes me ache for the ocean.

   It make me long to be small again.

   And that ee cummings was one of the first poems I ever fell in love with when I was a child.

   Thank you for sharing your ocean with me. I forget sometimes just how much I miss it.
