Looking Back At Images Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Lyrics of a song, reminding me of San Diego and Monterey,
California where I spent weekends through the years.

Swimming, body surfing, walking around the bay, eating in
restaurants built over the water, giving the appearance
that the whole place was floating.

In the town of Monterey, seeing an organ grinder and his
cute little monkey with a little smile given when a coin
was dropped into the cup.

Taking an excursion on a ferry boat, to see seals and
walrus, cavorting through the waves and water.

Beautiful times with nature, feeling content in the middle
of nowhere, no troubles or turmoil, just peaceful serenity
quiet and reserved.

Looking back on these wonderful images continues to give
peace needed even now when strife and turmoil hit home.
