Eyes on the Horizon It’s not a view I like to share - selfishly, I claim this skyline as my own, although truthfully, it has owned me since that first summer when we sculpted ourselves into sea nymphs, arching from waves to twist shell-spun tendrils from seaweed locks, leaving damp, sandy impressions for salivating boys to covet. We were cool as the sea. Now, the horizon watches as it always has from its slice between earth and sky, leaving us with brief insights, green flashes - those rare summer sunsets when eyes suspend reason. Here, two of my friends have already gone, keepers of the place where nothing escapes. © 2003 Core [This message has been edited by Corinne (05-05-2003 02:44 PM).] |

Another, that is wistful without the rue. A lovely portrait of these sea-nymphs, then and now. |

Corinne~ This is fascinating... It amazes me how you capture an array of visuals and emotions all at one time To me, that is not so much poetry in motion, it's near perfect! Truly~ |

Corrine, this is so beautiful. I especially liked this verse..... The horizon watches, as it always has, from that measureless slice between earth and sky, a wise circle that grins a green flash in those rare summer sunsets when the eyes suspend reason. Thanks for sharing. Hugs, Ethel |

What a lovely picture of friends them and now, and I can so relate to this poem having lost friends myself lately. I truly enjoyed this piece. |

This is so beautiful, Corrine. I deem this a keeper also! Melissa~ Intellectually I know that Canada is no better than any other country. Emotionally I KNOW that Canada is the best country in the world! |

 (big hugggsssssss) Oh Corinne, this is so very heartfelt, sweet friend, I too have friends that are long gone now and still I miss them deeply and arrange all the sea shells and marbles they left in my heart on the shores! (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Corinne, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton Underneath your clothes, there's an endless story |
