The Gulf of Mexico … the Florida shore
Two Dancers, well acquainted and Familiar
Choreographed by forces neither seen nor named
Repeating their to-and-fro’s in rhythmic perfection
Moving to Life’s pulse … that knows no hurry
My whole Being falls into step with their metronomic sway
Inhale, exhale … to their surge, retreat
The tiniest bubbles, of foam, form on the sands
And now flow, in intimate recognition, from my eyes
Two Dancers, well acquainted and Familiar
Choreographed by forces neither seen nor named
Repeating their to-and-fro’s in rhythmic perfection
Moving to Life’s pulse … that knows no hurry
My whole Being falls into step with their metronomic sway
Inhale, exhale … to their surge, retreat
The tiniest bubbles, of foam, form on the sands
And now flow, in intimate recognition, from my eyes

Some of my fondest early memories are of enjoying the Gulf while on vacation with my grandparents. Lovely.
When introduced (by the Marine Corps) to the waters of the Atlantic ... my shock (physically AND mentally) to its icy and inhospitable power, was overwhelming. I was so spoiled by my 'Home Surf!' I had an IMMEDIATE added appreciation of the Gulf's warm, gently caressing flows.
To know that You, my Dear SulDog Friend, have fond memories of my 'Home Surf' gives me a smile of familial sharing.
Lovin' Ya Jim ...
i've only seen the gulf twice but what i most enjoyed was being able to watch a sunset over it.

I am enjoying the Imagining of our sharing one of my very favorite (perhaps even my most favorite) spots.
There is (atop one of the hotels on St. Petersburg Beach) a restaurant that revolves once each hour. From there, we enjoy an unobstructed view of the setting of the sun on the Gulf ... then the lighting of the communities all along the beach for as far as the Eye can see. It is quite magical!
That, Dearest Lime, is an Imagining well worth lingering with! [smile]
Lovingly ...
I must serve Notice, Dear Nishant, that (while guardedly appreciated) I am a bit suspectful of your 'comment.'
We'll see ...
