We came, we saw,
we swam, we hiked,
we cooked fresh fish and ate pancakes in the sun
and I never wanted to leave.
Sometimes life is challenging,
and sometimes it offers itself to you with a coastline that stretches itself into the sun,
a hike that climbs over lakes and the ocean and reveals the world to you
and the quiet moments you want to put in a jam jar and seal up forever.
The day that summer arrived,
in full form,
arms stretching out and embracing us,
we embraced it back.
We took the day to the water,
and skidded across a perfect oily surface
laughing as our bodies jumped as the boat hit big waves.
We dipped ourselves into the Pacific Ocean,
cold and salty,
and vowed to do it again the next day.
With wet hair and salty smiles we bought fresh ingredients for dinner,
a barbeque feast with salty margaritas to accompany our salty smiles.
