Sacrifice in Darkness

09 March 2006


Death to a broken heart
love to a soul that died
Where was living
to be unnoticed in dark

Struck between immortal
what morale brings peace
As if confidence was not the seed
black to colour not bright

Dismal to surrounding
was this the knight to depart
For she would never surrender
who said prayer was to answer

Sacrifice or sacrilege
a farewell from long off
There was no tomorrow
because then it was day


“And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon
the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face
of the waters. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God
divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light Day,
and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning
were the first day. And to rule over the day and over the night, and
to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.”
Genesis 1: 2, 4-5, 18 KJV

another story left untold

Words of Dixie

25 May 2006


Night comes again
and daylight then
Another story, left untold

Two hearts, too happening
one together, both united
This happiness of both
across a planet unfold

Oceans and seas, Pacific in quest
this Gulf of Mexico, wind blowing south
White sands of passion, if only told
a truth impossible, yet real enough

Night passing, new day borne
this generation, coupled in heart
Where was yesteryear, that venture gone
another moment to surrender in being told


The Gulf of Mexico is a major body of water bordered and nearly landlocked by North America.

The gulf's eastern, north, and north-western shores lie within the United States of America
(the states of Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas); the south-western and
southern shores of the Gulf lie within Mexico (the states of Tamaulipas, Veracruz, Tabasco,
Campeche, Yucatán, and Quintana Roo); on the southeast it is bordered by Cuba. In
connecting with the Atlantic Ocean via the Florida Straits between the United States and
Cuba, and with the Caribbean Sea via the Yucatan Channel between Mexico and Cuba.

The total area of the Gulf of Mexico is approximately 1.6 million square kilometres (615,000
square miles), the southern third of which lies within the tropics, and plunges to a depth of
2,080 fathoms (3804 metres). This deepest part is Sigsbee Deep, an irregular trough more
than 300 nautical miles (550 kilometres) long, sometimes called the “Grand Canyon under
the sea.” The Gulf Stream, is a warm Atlantic Ocean current and one of the strongest ocean
currents known, originates in the gulf.
