So Few Summers In The Lifetime Of A Cool-Weather Girl

I just realized that not once this entire summer did I wear a swimsuit, enter a body of water larger than my bathtub, or even put my feet in the ocean and this makes me very sad.

Lying Here With No One Near

I cannot wait to walk along the water at night, looking up at the stars, and dancing in the sand.

Lingering Echos Of The Little Mermaid, I'm Sure

I often have dreams where I am sitting at the bottom of the sea, looking up toward the sunlight, through leagues and leagues of water, completely at peace.

Like A Ghost Into The Fog

In my dream it was cold and wet and windy but all I wanted to do was see the ocean.

Hurricane Season is my favorite part of summer because it is only after a very bad storm that treasures from the deep can be found at low tide without hordes of tourists crushing them beneath their feet.
