    I love the ocean and I live a block away and everyday I sit on my balcony with my coffee.

    Greetings and thanks, ZAPPA-ESQUE, Tallon, and Nancy Drew:

    It is very nice to see your comments -- and links -- first thing of a Monday morning. I look forward to an upcoming visit to the Pacific coast early fall.

    Gratefully . . .

    There is nothin' like a dame!

    I love this, prologos!

    Thanks so very much. I believe this is the version in Steve Martin's L.A. STORY.

    Best wishes

    SHE PEERS INTO WATER whose blackness is obsidian,
    Waters deeper than an Atlantic trench that swallows down
    Unwary mariners in search of mysterious ports of call.

    Is it a wandering lost love she seeks, a foolish man who
    Abandoned hearth and home and love in search of El
    Dorado, that hidden city of overgrown ruins?

    The woman looks in vain, for these waters can no more be
    Fathomed than the heart of the lover who left her when
    Seduced by elusive riches that beckoned from beyond.

    I AM ADRIFT, WITHOUT RUDDER, in a sea of broken dreams.
    My mind descends into a tangle of seaweed that pulls my

    Hapless frame downward into a black and sinister realm that
    Holds its jailed without pity, with scant hope of future release.

    I do love the land and all her beauty but fear the sea; I'm no
    Fool who'd put life and limb at peril in search of new worlds.

    Alone in my thoughts, I roam dread shores of lands whose
    Roiling, uncharted waters of soul and spirit shall swallow

    Me alive . . . in death's throes victorious.
