Living Northwest Style

Rippling water next to glassy smooth as the tide changes,

rhythmic waves crest on the sand.

Rising above each shore, the mountain ranges.

Cold, rough waves dot the islands.

Slinking, spinning, sliding though water,

Rhythmic waves crest on the sand.

Wind fills the sails; direction does not matter.

Porpoises glide along the hull of the sailboat,

slinking, spinning, sliding through water.

Driftwood caught by the rising surge floats.

Waves smash into the boulder.

Porpoises glide along the hull of the sailboat.

Winds blow across the Strait, colder,

rain falling on the salt water,

waves smash into the boulder.

Atop the buoy rests an otter.

Rain falling on the salt water,

rippling water next to glassy smooth as the tide changes.

Rising above each shore, the mountain ranges.
