 Band of Light reflected on the water... like shining dreams that crease the rippling deep The lowering sun in twilight seems to totter upon the swells that rock me off to sleep Hand of Night delivering Forever... on a blanket woven from infinity Shades of darkness wearing necklaces of silver refracting on an ebon ribbon of the sea If the tides should turn tumultuous on the morrow If any gales would fill the sails within my soul, I'll cast up to the heavens all my sorrow Searching for that Band of Light upon the shoal Sand of white that shimmers on the shoreline... like promised dreams I'm beckoned to believe that Winds of Fate would lead me to what is mine, into a Band of Light that won't deceive Land of Might uplifted by its weakness Its strength found in the gentleness of Love Dark side of Love that wraps me in its bleakness Searching for a Band of Light issued above Geoffrey Sonnen 7/25/2000 - repost If a man has not discovered something he is willing to die for,his life is not worth living.

"Sand of white that shimmers on the shoreline... like promised dreams I'm beckoned to believe that Winds of Fate would lead me to what is mine, into a Band of Light that won't deceive" I loved this poem and the bit I quoted above especially! Its terrific, I'm so glad you reposted it, cos I got to read it! lol. Hey Streetheart, thanks for your extra replies in my poems. I replied ur replies again, but the gist was, thanks for giving a smile to an otherwise smileless day...I really appreciated it. Luv, Liz xx |

Thank you,Liz.I wrote this during the most painfully difficult time in my life.My Heart was yearning for resolution,for an end to my misery,for the one I love to realize the truth of this love and to be truthful to self and to me...in other words,to have that proverbial,"happy ending".I craved peace from the turmoil.As a result,I must be honest that this is one of my favorite writings that I have done.They say that pain and unhappiness are powerful inspiration for artistic achievement.I hope that some day in the future Joy could be my inspiration.I would like to know what that is again. Anyway,thanks for your appreciation. Always,Geoffrey |

This is truly beautiful, Geoffry. Too bad that some of our best is written at our lowest times. Joyce |
