Soon

The moon hangs low but yet is far
Reminding me how near you are
Its glow upon my skin is such
It seems within a finger’s touch

If moons and stars can reach my hand
Defying space from sky to land
Then just a path from coast to coast
Is intimately warm and close

A simple call would sooth my ears
Erasing miles and needless tears
Perhaps your heart will want me soon
Why can’t you see how close the moon?

lovely and poignant

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

I hate to appear as selfish... but I sure enjoy your works. My father too thinks the days are slumbering. He talks how time was wisping by but now it appears molasses.

Liz, this is so lovely and thought provoking.  I'm keeping it!

The stars will shine when I am gone,
the earth will turn on as before,
the gulls, still race along the shore,
the morning star, still kiss the dawn

(tears fall down my cheeks) Oh Elizabeth, I know just how you feel, sadly my sweetheart never wanted to call me, and now my heart has been broken by her hypocrisy of love! (big hugggsssssss) I wish for this love though to always speak to you even from distances away faithfully, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Elizabeth, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
