Returning
to the Atlantic Ocean
is like a homecoming.
Although my home
is on a pleasant peninsula
between the Great Lakes,
the warm water
of Florida's gulf coast
is always welcoming.
The perpetual motion
of the soothing surf
carries contentment,
shimmering in the sunlight,
settling into saturated sand,
washing my thoughts upon the shore.
