The Shifting Tides Through gardens tangled now by time, I seem to hear the fragile chime Of temple bells that toll away The minutes, hours, of each day. I stand and watch the shifting tide Now on the ebb and with it ride My thoughts of past years, you and I, Sailed beneath a tropic sky. Out where just wind and water rule And every star's a flashing jewel! Sometimes, we'd go on deck to lie And watch night hours hurry by, To see the sun rise from the sea And listen to the symphony Of water sounds and lines that sing. Of creaking timbers, salty fling Of brine upon our sun-tanned skin. The memories begin to thin And fade away until once more, I realize I'm on the shore. Now where are you? What mystic place Conceals your presence and your face? From out the mist that drifts to me, I hear you speaking poetry! Betty Lou Hebert |

BettyLouBettyLou~ This is the most lovely read-aloud piece~ What lovely thoughts seem to sail along~ It reflects the silence of silence-in-tow that sailing brings to me~ I have sooooo enjoyed this piece ... you glow~  *sigh* ... just so very pretty~ *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |
