had me at foggy swoosh —
at hoods-up walks with doggy
at making seabreeze stories —
at one hand pulled by another’s
up to lips for a tender kiss
at sunset, later drifting to a
warm pocket where the day's
sweet find lay hidden in granular
grace. It is the beaches.

Valentine's Day is also celebrated as Oregon Statehood Day, and it is Oregon's 155th birthday today. This poem (that contains a few words from a favorite Avett Brother's song) is to honor my state's spectacular coast, my special connection with it, and my love for those who have shared time with me there, never to be forgotten.

You words really make me miss the beach. :o)
you had me at hoods-up walks with doggy, plus throwing in a guitar hero for good measure
if he could go back he'd promise …I'd never let your love slip from my hands … Nice lyrics.
Oregon is a state I would love to visit someday. I'm exploring the south east coast now.
