Stars shone in a black mellow sky

Ohhhh it hurts so good!

Hush…the sense of soul moving

Failure, numbly grips my mirror

My homely wounds, now earthenware

He found a one-of-a-kind decision

Pity…
this sleeping bag for one

Inflating moments that forgot to pray

Swallowing a punch line that grumbles

All the way down, like pointy coconuts

Hissing with a corkscrew sound

Cobblestones walk arm in arm

Like the clop clop of a carriage horse

Pulling me through the door

Frowning rose buds

With winter destinations,

but not today

Not today

I got birthday money in advance

The heart of a lighthouse is it’s lens

Barnegat’s “Old Barney” calls to me….

Where everything seems romantic

South to Rt. 72 Causeway to the

Northern tip of Long Beach Island

Where the community dreams of light

That comes true

And folks maintain a winter residence

to add a thread or two...

Yup, that's where I'm a goin

and taste the salt air view...

"The heart of a lighthouse is it’s lens"

Clarity of vision (lens) changes a heart -- love your analogy.  Take me with you, p l e a s eeeeee!   ....jo
