Almost Paradise
A poem for a new life.
Abandoned tide pools distance themselves
From monolithic cliffs,
As remnants of departed waves
Reflect glittered sunshine along sandy bluffs.
Remembering full moons left behind
For shimmering rays,
Imprinting onto glassy
Island shores and waterways.
Forgotten dreams vanquished
Beneath ocean waves extinguishing flames,
Pounded by surf on bay shore
Life ruined without blame.
Just a mom and dogs
With her sunshine boy,
Almost paradise for home
A new life to enjoy.
