Band of Light reflected on the water... like shining dreams that crease the rippling deep The lowering sun in twilight seems to totter upon the swells that rock me off to sleep Hand of Night delivering Forever... on a blanket woven from infinity Shades of darkness wearing necklaces of silver refracting on an ebon ribbon of the sea If the tides should turn tumultuous on the morrow If any gales would fill the sails within my soul, I'll cast up to the heavens all my sorrow Searching for that Band of Light upon the shoal Sand of white that shimmers on the shoreline... like promised dreams I'm beckoned to believe that Winds of Fate would lead me to what is mine, into a Band of Light that won't deceive Land of Might uplifted by its weakness Its strength found in the gentleness of Love Dark side of Love that wraps me in its bleakness Searching for a Band of Light issued above Geoffrey Sonnen 7/25/2000 If a man has not discovered something he is willing to die for,his life is not worth living. |

(big hugggssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, you have my vote, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Geoffrey, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." Shakira [This message has been edited by Mistletoe Angel (03-16-2003 01:58 PM).] |

These are powerful phrases, Street Heart, each of them are descriptive morsels and each could stand alone. Powerful writing! |

Thank you,Noah,for your generous words. Thank you,Kacy.It's nice to hear from you again.How have you been doing?Have you become acclimated to Colorado? Thank you so much,Chanson,for your powerful compliments.I'm glad you enjoyed this.I was going through the worst and most painful time of my life when I wrote this.This is one of my personal favourites.I suppose I poured most of my heart into this and there is such a yearning to find peace and resolution.I'm sure that that is why you see the "power" in there. Thank you,Spirit,for your appreciation and vote. Sincerely,Geoffrey |

I did read the seaching within this heartfelt poem and you really put yourself into this piece. Extremely well done. I find pleasure reading your work in any event. Good luck.  R.E.S.P.E.C.T. Aretha Franklin [This message has been edited by Mysteria (03-16-2003 07:29 PM).] |

Wow, I am amazed with your writing, you have a way of making poetry reach out and grasp the person reading it. To be honest, I haven't found a poem yet of yours I haven't liked, and I can be fussy...LOL  Sometimes we have to follow a stronger voice, even if it's silent. |

Geoffrey...Words sometimes are just words, and other times (like now) are much more. I tire of the word "beautiful", but this is. |
