WeltReiser

From the mangrove forests of
Tampa Bay
to the cliff dive high rises
of Ocean City – Egypt to Germany.
Tom and Jeanne are back
from school – Universitat
in Switzerland. –
studying and working.

Did you see those ospreys
catching fish.
Sort of like the same thing.
A 360 degrees on a surf board,
not that easy to do,
especially in this surf.

This summer breaking free,
like a seagull trapped
in a jewelry store.
Flying back and forth
distracted by shiny things
until finally finding the open door.
Wings launching onto the boardwalk
and then the beach.

The pride of the mother / father
homestead tribes of Maryland
and Michigan.

They dwell never far from the shores
of a gulf and an ocean.
Where they can claim,
running into the waves
of water and air –
“this is my home where I come from”
and may never be any other way.
