Little diamonds of light moving slowly across the water
Like an infinite number of stars
Being passed from one swell to another
Held up with pride, if only for a fleeting moment

Dark clouds, proud guardians of the night
Part on the horizon, giving in to the power of Light
Shredded ripples trying in vain to hold onto what is lost
A pallet of morning colors march by their futile resistance
Bringing forth the day that He hath given

The profound words of a reluctant poet in my ears
Touching the very core of my soul
Stirring a heart that for too long was dormant
Breaking it wide open
To be shared this way with you


Nothing ever happens unless first a Dream - Rod

And, thank you so much, Rodney, for
sharing this beautiful painting of words  with us!!

I love you
With a thousand hearts."
