Update #4: Freedom on the Oregon Coast
Went camping on the beach with Seth and buddies. Took this photo. Wrote a poem. Poem goes like this.
-Camping on the Oregon Coast.
In a blue to pink to orange to yellow color,
darkeness slow danced the sun to sleep,
Air breathes our wood into fire,
smoke & glow keep us close, keeps us warm, cooks our dinner,
Later - I stare at the moon staring at the ocean,
He takes all evening but sees her from every angle,
He reflects in her endless wave song,
She sings me beautifully to rest,
then sings to my dreaming ears.
life is good -xo mwj.
