My Man and the Sea.

A J C 1958 (Swansea, MA)

Epic
My Man and the Sea.

She sits on the rocks. The ocean is quiet, deep, and alone. I wish in my heart that my man would come home. The waves whisper to me, and the soft sands of the sea sweep over my feet and surround where I stand. I need my man. He has weathered beaten hands and face from a lifetime of toil on the waters. But he respects the sea, which has taken many souls; that's why I love him so much. Here, in the cold breeze by the sea, I wait for my man to come back to me.

    I am still…Fight or flight???I am comfortable being me…I still have a dream of traveling in my newly acquired used Odyssey…Be it alone or with the one woman I forsook to remain with my narci and her flying monkeys…I will still stand in this room and proclaim that I Love Jewel Kilcher…Oh well…I doubt she’ll take off her mask and proclaim the same for me…Yeah…Maybe she truly is SPECIAL as well and a true narci as well…Oh well…Sometimes it be that way…I’m no longer married with children…Well…Technically I am still married because my narci is still my narci…Oh the cruelty of destiny Ryan…
