Good Morning World!
I woke this morning to the sounds of the ocean surf. While the seagulls congregated outside my back door, making their familiar calls. My eyes were taken aback by broken pieces of sunlight sparkling on the cold choppy waters. As I stepped out my door, I could see old married couples strolling along the shoreline as the now exhausted waves wash over their aged feet, with a gentle call, to breathe in this moment and make it last forever. For soon the day trippers will be here and the world will move on...

Good Night
The tide rolls in, the tide rolls out. The sun circles the earth one more time. With the dolphins dancing in the surf I give thanks for another day spent in the loving care of our heavenly father. As the last flicker of light passes over the horizon, as the deep blue waves say their last good night the sun beams flashing upon the very tips of the now forgotten sea. I bend my knees to the one who created all such wonders. Time to rest now under velvet pin pricked skies letting insipid points of light shine through. Once again father we thank you in all humility for we are nothing but the hollow wind passing above the black seas of life.
