A World Away
It’s so beautiful here,
welcoming, secluded, discreet,
sitting together on a boat,
anchored by the beach.
Around us, sea spray,
crystal skies, pretty shells,
brackish water, hypnotic waves,
and gulls splash about.
No other thoughts,
than I am here
with my wife of 40 years
together in paradise.
