Haiku #3: The Ocean Is Calling Me

I was sitting on our back porch yesterday morning with a view of the Pacific Ocean’s breaking waves in the foreground. My head was stuck in my computer doing anything but admiring the once-in-a-lifetime view. Then the power goes out. I had lost connection to the baffling world of social media and the glut of random things that I do on the internet. It was out for most of the day. Yes, I was agitated at first. Then I noticed the beauty that was in front of me. The ocean was speaking to me, wanting some extreme attention. I got out my journal and this haiku came to mind.

No power and no

Connection to this mad world,

Ocean’s tranquil sounds
