The motor gurgles behind me,
and the floor vibrates below
the boat moves swiftly,
as i watch the bay flow

Turquoise waves overlap,
they swim away from the boat
new bubbles begin to snap,
and at surface they float

The bay surrounds murky stones,
at the foot of a cluster of hills
their dark-gray, dark-blue tones,
peek out the fuzzy tree frill

The ambiance dances up my nose,
the fragrance of rusted wood mixed with a cool breeze
My favorite perfume gives me a warm coze
Spread from the top of my head below my knees

&quot;You know you&rsquo;re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is &ndash; wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you&rsquo;re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself.&quot;

Favorite Quote:
&quot;Though much is taken, much abides; and though we are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are; one equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.&quot; -Lord Alfred Tennyson
