Ocean Beach, in San Francisco
Ocean Beach
in San Francisco
is a chill and smell in the air,
a break from the heat
to the East.
Waters of many hues,
a sky painted by atmospherics
and clouds, and setting sun,
and emotions run wild.
There are bars and restaurants
and fire pits to gather, but
Sometimes a place
to be thankfully alone,
and to look at the Horizon
and be reminded
that things are different out there
so they can be different here
and maybe better also!
John and Doc
took journeys
on these waters
the wild waters of the Pacific
and to the South
and to the Sea of Cortez
Literary and scientific
history happened out there
In their search
to better know and understand
our wild marine neighbors,
and our place in
the bigness of it all.
