You were right J. Marie - I got inspired! A Second by Lori Lockheart The cloud's violet haze Covers the mystic sky. The song of a soaring seagull Slowly passes me by. The ocean's big white waves Break like a rippling sail. The sound of the wandering breeze Is carried with an untouched shell. The sun reflects on the water, Shimmering like a candle in the wind. The time of the soothing sunset Is slowly drawing to an end. A sudden glimpse of the moon appears, Summoning the night to arrive. The memory of that faded image Is only one second passing in time. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean. Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens. Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance. And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance - I hope you dance. song by LeeAnn Womack ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |

.gif) Lori* You drew such a beautiful picture with this and it's as vivid as if you would have painted it upon a canvas. Thank you for taking me there within your words.< !signature--> What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us. - Ralph Waldo Emerson [This message has been edited by Butterflies_dont_cry (edited 05-14-2000).] |

Lori, Beautifully written poem!!! The imagery is just wonderful!! Love the last stanza especially.  Friends are friend forever if the Lord's the Lord of them and a friend will not say never cause the welcome will not end. --Michael W. Smith |

Lori~ If you want to elicit emotion, take your muse to the ocean. This is wonderful. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |
