Newport Beach 1977…

The bright ocean spray

Has always blown me away.

–

With the warmth of the inviting sun

We thoroughly enjoyed beach day fun.

–

As transistor radios blast

Running into the waves fast.

–

Gulls fly over this salty Eden

Unattended foods will be eaten.

–

Surfers ride the crests of the waves

I watch from the shore as the sun laves.

–

Being young, I learned to love the sea

At age 52 it now feels like a part of me…

Bright Yellow Orb

I remember the blazing sun

Bathing me in its golden rays

Hours of playful warm fun

All beneath its burning gaze

–

Even when it was hidden

Behind a wall of cloud

I knew the sun wasn’t ridden

As did the multitude of the crowd…
