One wants to say so close to Paradise only so far away. We're two miles from the beautiful Pacific beach coastline which is fine. You can't stroll the sand due to crazy crime. You can't touch the water due to bacteria slime. One wants to say maybe better someday so close to Paradise only so far away
Wisp of moon near a veiled horizon the early dark sky still deep in slumber as I stand in the cool silence of the hour both palms to face before night's mirror as bracing cold water dissolves the last trace of fluid dream while a chilled stray wind just before dawn slips under my door routines line up by habit the day begins once more.
