Running To Be Free |

Looking out I see the lights along the harbour front crusing days and drifting nights are visions I recall. Oh, oh, sweet memories of times that we all love soon we will feel them sailing on the summer run. Through the wakes and waves we'll glide along the watery road. singing songs along the flight with wind to cleanse our soul. Good-bye to shop work we'll leave to plane the word the streets will be fading from our spreading swirls. We believe that every roll is a magic swing and we'll be free from the toil that everyday can bring. Oh, time won't be wasted we live so little years in the blow of the cool spray we wash away our cares. Everyday's a mirror reflections we repeat. Everyone's a drrifter floating toward a dream and every day we wake and every breath we take we'll be running to be free. Lapping waters linger on when deep sleep does prevail with the voice of freedom calling from a new dawn sail. Oh, oh, sweet memories of times that we all love soon we will feel them sailing on the summer run. Celtrue2000@E3B1G9 |

Ethome, this lovely poem has the allure and feel of a classic within its softly rolling lines...I really enjoyed reading it. ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

Ethome--I searched for this poem after reading Marge's poem that you inspired with this one...and I can see why...It is truly beautiful...I'm sorry I didn't see it earlier and glad she brought it to my attention. Excellent writing! |

Wonderful poem Ethome, makes me want to run fantically just for the sake of it.< !signature--> the plot of our life sweats in the dark like a face the mystery of childbirth, of childhood itself grave visitations what is it that calls to us?" patti smith [This message has been edited by brian madden (edited 07-18-2000).] |
