How soft the breezes blow upon my cheek
In all the ways to know connections that I seek
Turned into wells that surface clear and pure
Each time reminded of the reasons to endure

Always there beneath these lowered lids to peek
A world so large and loud, a mind to find times meek
Through shake and bake of sun and storm stands tall
Amid the quivers danced in colors form an ever-bearing wall

The crowning glory of a rich and noble dream
Away from tempest squalls un-tampered baste and seam
How good reminders to think broad in reach and reap
White trimmed trunks to posture footings thoroughly in seep

How soft the breeze remains to comfort here
In chase of wanderings and echoes fauna fleet to cheer
And given in a velvet purse to soothe the ripples out
How soft the breeze that blows the trees in sharing round about

Your words never fail TD~

very lyrical!

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

TD...I seem to use the word "beautiful", alot with your poetry...and this one really is that.  Not to mention the way it flows when read...yes it is lyrical, although that's already been said..it's true.  Gorgeous!

This was absolutely stunning and most certainly gets my vote.

Take care......Sue
