I See A Shhh…

A painful metaphorical observation on life I had to confront.

Me, a duck-like-bird, don’t fly too well.. after flapping my way into the coral reef, I stopped to stand on the sharp sandy rocks, shaped by the wind and salt.

I was enjoying the last dry and warm moment of the day. Just before plunging in.. to catch my breaky.

Panoramically observing and looking from clouds down to corals up. It’s clear.

In the food chain, I won’t consider myself as the yummiest, so chillaxing is allowed and even recommended.

I call it ‘the seagulls café’. Them thousands floating aimlessly and painting the sealevel in shades of grey, white and soft black. Where these gangstars at, there are fish.

So I came over to sip my salty bit and check out the tides.

I’ve got a front-line-free-seat to enjoy a dolphin’s dance.

That playful creature was splashing, bragging its unique charm.. trying to tease the sea lions, the seagulls, and myself? I was enjoying the show. Those splashes were my morning jacuzzi.

I pour my heart involuntarily into words, since I found that writing is the ultimate solution for a nightmarish sailing journey. I can still connect with you :)
