Floridians Asking Forgiveness

In a calm storm the sea is waiting for refreshment. The calm is a prelude to more than peace. Two times the lighthouse blinked, abrupt in its stillness, shy in its intention. There, the ever present water laps the shore with anticipation, as if waiting to be born. The mystery deepens as the cold deep is mysterious, peculiar in its abruptness. The shelf of the sea is sloping, sloping towards Atlantis. All about the nets are cast, waiting for a haul. The interrupted daylight reels with discontent, and the Floridians who sit comfortably are one by one asking forgiveness.
