In the presence of great water
Emotions cupped within the wind
This radiance to pink in ardor
All through the wooded paths rescind

And in this awestruck fascination
Emerald and white tipped waves
Flowing dunes in trepidation
As if the echo sky enslaves

In this place of wooded whispers
Near to God in all bestowed
Present only blessed drifters
Heart and soul in sunshine bowed

And in easy soft surrender
Never hurried to be done
In the presence of great water
All the jewels there glitter on

What a gorgeous poem!!!! Your imagery is so clear and vivid...that I feel myself engulfed in the warm salt-water of the seas.

Kathy... It sounds like you have been out to visit our beautiful Lake Michigan...

I especially love the last line, because This Diamond is one of the jewels that glitters on

(smiles) Awwwwwww, I love this, sweet friend, we have many lakes in Colorado that I love so much, I'm worried though they may dry up and I pray for much more precipitation to come! (kiss on cheek) This is breathtaking, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kathleen, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
