Dear Monterey

Some words.

Dear Monterey

 

 

Once imprison man was taught how to be free by the dear Pacific.

Kind Monterey, showed him, he had just begin.

Once the Winter days of life stole his heart and

the sea song, taught him.

Life is the laughter of friends, long talks with friends and singing songs to the ocean.

A lucky life.

Is dancing with the sea, dancing with your grandchildren.

Teaching them to know and to love the sea, the great forest and to be kind.

California

 

 

I  had the Bacchus wine, a pretty lady near and the sea,

The moon was above us and I held her so tightly, to keep us warm.

The Monterey Bay nights cooler and more peaceful into the midnight hours,

only the lovers of the sea came to watch the moon rise and fall into sea.

Now the old poet,

he sit with his dearest friend, the sea.

he whispered to the rising moon.

Thank you for showing me,

life is more than me

Maybe the end of this year. A week in Monterey.

Many of my work is inspired also by the ocean. Having lived down the Jersey shore from birth until I graduated college it was natural. I think, as children, we didn't appreciate the "heaven" we had. Even the walks on the beach in winter were a treat, but the summer nights and romance - oh my gosh!
Take care - Dave

I agree Dave. The sea and youth. I am old now and I would walk the sea shore everyday, If I could. Thank you for reading and the comment.

Beautifully expressed, Love the Ocean. It's hard at times to go near, cause everything is so expensive any where near it. Many inner city children have never seen the Ocean.

Many reasonable place. The Georgia coastline. Hidden and beautiful beaches. Here in Michigan. The lakes are almost free to see. Thank you my friend for reading and the comment.
