A quintessential summer snapshot:
A late morning boat ride around Egg Harbor
Hot dogs on the balcony
Reading and writing by the shore

The smell of sunscreen and sweat
The spiderwebs on the railings, hanging from the trees
The heat beating on our legs and our shoulder

A cold Diet Coke
And gulps and gulps of water
A quiet moment between the moments
Time to breathe, time to be

I live here every day but there are some times
When I catch the right scent off the water
That I am flooded with a happiness
A thousand layered memories here

This week, making new ones

A quintessential life snapshot:
My friends, lying on the floor
My cats crawling over us
Before we get up, get ready
Move forward together

With Love,
Natalie
