Encinitas

A different tempo
Different pace of
Life in a new place,
No need to press
Forward against
The odds, I am
Already there.
The sun rises
Through the
Backyard pine,
Sets in the Pacific
As the surf rolls.
Rosy our dog
Welcomes me,
Carol smiles.
Each new thing
Delights me
Being with her,
We take our
Time to enjoy
The remains
Of the day.
New friends
New foods
New perspectives,
Not alone,
I am home
At last.
