watch

Watch

It's early evening

people

they keep coming

what drives them here?

Is it the healing sun

the seagulls

boats docked for the night.

The water is still too cold

but the kids don't notice

they run in and out

splashing and laughing.

I sit in my car on the dock

and I think about the seagulls.

Where do they get their drinking water?

Then I remember they do drink sea water

but their bodies

expell the salt through their sea nostrils.

Isn't God smart, he has taken care of

everything.

I leave joyfully.
