Along the ghost gray horizon unknown
To be a bit withered, withdrawn and wind blown
From the depths to discover another fair twin
As the skeptic emerges to guide from within

With the ship turning port passing faint in the night
At the helm is required to be bravest and bright
From the storms now past skirmishes breaths to be seen
This razor sharp focus through the icebergs to glean

And take hand, and take heart at the buoyance of tools
Rising up to the surface when uncertainty rules
Settled down in the concepts somewhat altered in norm
To steer calmly to waters lulled securely and warm

Along the deep edges of the mystical seas
Finds the self in discover of the mysteries these
To embrace as created of the heart that will fight
By the stir of the skeptic comes the answer so right

There is so much wisdom in your words TD~
As often as I have milked the metaphor of the sea...You have captured it perfectly and in it's entirety!  

I absolutely loved this!
Thank you thank you~

(sigh) Oh Kathleen, I'm all about mysterious, after all, for so long explorers were scared to death of sailing along Africa's shores because they believed in myth deadly monsters all existed around there, but when one explorer proved them wrong, their whole philosophy shattered into dust! (big hugggssssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, this is marvelous, 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

Excellently woven K.  Even the words reflect
the skeptic's mood...  Well done..
