As sand is life born of the windward shore
and waters flow the rivers clear to sea.
Shall not the hands of one reach in explore
forever bound to walk and wandring be.

For life is but a particle at best
to lie beneath the waves of waters blue.
Where all are born to wade in solemn blessed
till once again they’re born again anew.

If not one’s heart does beat in climb of mount
will then the eyes not see the cherished earth.
For from the mount does flow the babbling fount
and there the soul does find the gift of birth.

For from the veins of man shall flow his will
to flood a heart whose sound shall never still.

HELLO AGAIN! I've been absent for a short while... being back makes me feel all goey inside and I must say... I missed reading your work the most! An accomplishment... well done!

~ How poetically profound!

Your heart has a river of love, beauty, wisdom, wit, charm, and beauty flowing through it.

Magnus~
I was totally caught up in the rhyme and rhythmn of this one~

'For life is but a particle at best
to lie beneath the waves of waters blue.
Where all are born to wade in solemn blessed
till once again they’re born again anew.'


You are playing with my Amen's !
So lovely is this thought~

the spirit rejoices over what it has left.

Lovely, dear Sir.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.
