9th Floor Beach-front Balcony - Love is Alive


Sights and Sounds as the tide rolled in...

Some musings from October 2013

Reality is seeping in - wafting up from the balcony below in the form of cheap perfume, an old man hacking from too many cigarettes and a woman singing along beautifully off-key to a song that is no doubt special to them. I picture her sitting on his lap, cheek to cheek with their eyes on the ocean, arms wrapped around each other and their hearts full of love and gratitude. This too is real. The singing has stopped. She just offered to make him a cup of coffee. They feel like characters from a Hemingway novel  Love is alive.
