on any blistering day
   time would appear fleeting
   lost to endless horizons
   and sunrises bleeding

where song was once in the wind
   now am feeling dispair
   and in the need of release
   taken to healing air

searching for the darkened night
   and into calmer seas
   to reach the stars of heaven
   under empty sails ease


   fleeting dispairing seas

"In life's giving ... love is a gift, such worth living."

If it wasn't right, wasn't real ...
then why did it make us feel ....?

lovely, thank you for the journey, and the beautiful visuals...one we should all understand, is just a fleeting park of life...perhaps a gift within the gift, for if we were able to understand, the bad isn't really always so terrible, we'd grow much faster spiritually...

Hugs

to endlEss horizons...always

In your light I learn how to love
In your beauty how to make poems
You dance inside my chest where
no one sees you and that sight becomes this art

Something tugs at me, I've no doubt of that.
Something from the sea, whichever one I'm near.
When I stray too far from beachland, it calls me back
