Gray afternoon meander
Meeting over juice
Begin the recon
Gray afternoon meander
Meeting over juice
Evening meander
To watch the sunlight blink out
While the kids run wild
Gringo walks the line
Investigating the catch
20 months from birth
The sun fades again
As it ultimately does
Despite our efforts
Low tide swimming hole
Kids as happy as can be
Eight years of changes
Sweeping sunset views
Thousands don’t lose their luster
Even for locals
Perspective matters
Who says cameras cannot lie
He controls the lens
My front door vista
Nightly sunset ritual
Heat then rain then heat
Ominous thunder
Even the rivers are brown
Gray over verde
Hump Day adventure
Far out in nature, so close
Yearn to run again
Crystal horizon
The deepest sapphire azul
Family adventure
Wide and empty beach
Miles from the intersection
Of hope and despair
Sand dunes forever
Melt into low rise housing
Cheer global warming
So close to the beach
Hills hide invisible waves
Sound alone remains
Lonely, rusty docks
To which ships no longer limp
Our regular spot
Balmy winter lake
Sunset washes over fight
Toddler always wins
Morning stroller run
Sunrise over city goats
Hunting for lost gloves
Surf’s up! And I do!
The sea, available to all
Balmy winter beach
The next frontier
Is just a stone’s throw away
Don’t forget your vest
Diablo peaking
On a crystal winter day
Function mirrors form
