New year morning sun.
Weeds and driftwood wash ashore
with resolutions.
Tiny toes tickle
winter waters, rippling
in the great Pacific.
A sign's stern disclaimer:
"No Lifeguard on Duty."
Winter at the beach.
"Play it Safe," it warns
of changing conditions.
"Proceed at your own risk."
Caution is a bell
rung by those who forgot
about carpe diem.
Greatness hence,
a resolution in courage.
Making waves, making waves.
