As We Spent Our Days of Leisure

My first poem recital was at the age of ten - John Masefield's, Sea Fever. I had this running through my head all through out my Goa trip this past week.

Sea Fever - John Masefield

I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by,
And the wheel's kick and the wind's song and the white sail's shaking,
And a grey mist on the sea's face and a grey dawn breaking.

I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.

I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life,
To the gull's way and the whale's way where the wind's like a whetted knife;
And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow-rover,
And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick's over.

This poor mutt couldn't handle the heat. The life of a beach dog!










Sunset Boulevard. I reckon this is one of the best pics I've ever taken.



Pole dance in exchange for a beer. I never got my beer!
