Breakfast was in a little lodge like place
Griddles built right into the table and
the grains for the pancakes milled on site
Like something from another time
The park was quiet and peaceful
Spanish moss hung from the trees
We looked down into the water
Quietly the manatees swam up
One poked his nose above the water and exhaled
His breath was cold and blew into my face with the
smell of the lake
He inhaled slowly and filled his lungs
Silently he retreated back into the water
I snapped a picture and all I could say was
HOW FRICKIN COOL WAS THAT!
