On a serene morning at a San Diego pier, I embarked on a journey of mindful meditation, where the rhythmic thumps of my footsteps echoed on the sun-kissed, weathered boards. The pier, adorned in a faded blue, whispered tales of countless sunrises as I observed families sharing laughter and seagulls scavenging the remnants of the day. The vibrant tapestry of boats-tugboats, cargo ships, and leisure crafts-danced across the water, leaving fleeting ripples that mirrored my own thoughts. In this moment of tranquility, I found solace in the delicate interplay of past memories and the inviting embrace of the sea, where every wave seemed to echo my longing for connection and the simple beauty of life. This narrative invites you to experience the enchanting blend of nostalgia and nature, where each detail reveals the profound joy found in quiet contemplation.

Poems of the sad, broken, the joyous, the wanderers, and the eternally pondering minds. Everything that so besieged us since the inception of time, is an unwritten poem. Even though dead in the eyes of mankind, poetry can rejuvenate this flourishing life all around in the minds of one and all. Through the ink of a pen, and my very own blood, my design is to reconnect the readers with themselves and nature at large.
