No Lifeguard on Duty (… or haikus for the new year)

New year morning sun. 
Weeds and driftwood wash ashore 
with resolutions.

Tiny toes tickle 
winter waters, rippling 
in the great Pacific.

A sign's stern disclaimer: 
"No Lifeguard on Duty." 
Winter at the beach.

"Play it Safe," it warns 
of changing conditions. 
"Proceed at your own risk."

Caution is a bell 
rung by those who forgot 
about carpe diem.

Greatness hence, 
a resolution in courage. 
Making waves, making waves.
