A little douse Of surreality As I look up The midnight sky The starry heavens Are the poets’ wish Coming ever true I realize To touch the hearts Of so many lives The stars a gift To be their eyes How can I see The distant shores If I’ve never seen the sea You are there Above the beach I can hear your poetry The net that’s cast By God Himself Are heaven’s stars Up in the sky And each poet knows That for one to shine We shall never die There’s no Goodnight For the poet’s light Shines even At its rest And to share with you My dreams come true Is when I'm at my best I’ll listen as You reflect Your soul To the world Of who you are So the others and I Can help you light Your wishful Morning Star [This message has been edited by wayoutwalt (edited 11-13-2000).] |

"How can I See distant shores If I’ve never seen the sea You are there Above the beach I can hear your poetry" Congratulations! How I loved these verses, the entire piece, but these verse spoke personally to me as well. Keep up the writing.

Walt, Congratulations on your 200th post!!!!!! Great poem to mark the occasion. Well done. LW Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |
