Winding in peaks of cove cliffed surround Windows stare in blank eyed amaze As undulating ocean give high fives To stone hands holding the footings All above was built upon What once harbor seal and whale Called pristine home in a shared dance With cormorant or gull that clipped the air Above white capped lines drawn on angled points Now lies filled with commerce of pale skinned exposure To the sun above Watching As man changed paradise Still beauty abounds on sensual shores Where lovers walk hands palmed together Trying to touch the vastness inside each other Perhaps thinking themselves not so insignificant If anchored in safe harbor with nightly beaching Of bellies one on the other Following with my eyes the outline I can trace in finger painted contours Where I once was |

nodding in agreement with Kari here. I could view the world through your eyes all day (and night, don't doubt THAT) grin? And yes, this is a delicately written but brilliantly piece. So subtle... |

 (big hugggssssssss) Oh Ron, I too wish that I could have been born earlier so I can live all the more beauty and innocence we used to have then! (sigh) I too blame the downfall of western civilization on the dollar, it saddens me to see greed and vanity overtake much of the simple love and pastoral serenity we used to share! We all love you so much, sweet friend, this is powerfully provoking! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ron, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Still beauty abounds on sensual shores Where lovers walk hands palmed together Trying to touch the vastness inside each other Perhaps thinking themselves not so insignificant If anchored in safe harbor with nightly beaching Of bellies one on the other ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ beautiful........... |

Following with my eyes the outline I can trace in finger painted contours Where I once was Your poetry is stunning, and each verse so well captured. You make my eyes water.... |
