The Road Not Taken
Searching for that
big happy moment in life,
how many special little
moments we let pass us by?
The sun is bright,
the sky blue,
we are in love
and we walk to the beach.
Overhead a gull cries out.
Without thinking I look up,
and there it is: a seal
far out at sea,
smooth as glass against the waves.
He sees us watching him
and raises his head to the sun.
Off in the distance I can
hear children laughing;
they’re at play.
I take my shirt off,
you take yours off,
we dive into the ocean.
The water is cold
but it doesn’t matter.
It feels good to swim together.
We don’t know how long
we stay under water
but when we surface
the gull still cries overhead
and there is no one else
on the beach.
