 Tonight I drove to my Mom's place to install her printer new Took my camera with me wanted to take some pictures few And driving through this open land I saw the sun sink low All around me a colored sky with veils of clouds in flow  I cannot tell you what I feel when I see nature's setting sun It takes the whole of me I guess it takes me on the run Capturing beauty and hold it tight is what I want to do Want to share it with all people yes and with you too  I can't deny I have a tic but it's a harmless one you see For showing beauty is no crime at least it's not to me Drive with me to my Mom's place the ride will suit you well I have so many things to show so many things to tell  It's harvesttime the grain is in and potatoes will be soon It's overdue it rained too much they work till shining moon Endless acres to be done and they've no time to spare They work so hard but nature sometimes isn't really fair  Driving on looking around what can I show you more Oh yes next time I'll take you to sunsetting at seashore For where I live we have it all North Sea is just not far D-day shores of World War II few hours drive by car  Just take some time off now to enjoy this pinky sky Every minute it's different see don't mind me if I sigh I lived here almost all my life and never get enough Of colored skies not even when storms are getting tough  So glad I am you came along to see this pretty sight And hope I didn't put you asleep with the words I write For I don't know any other way to show you what I see Can you believe that in this landscape I feel truly free A rose is a rose is a rose...I guess... Feel free to use the pictures on my website. http://communities.msn.com/Titiasplace/ [This message has been edited by Titia Geertman (edited 10-11-2001).] |

Oh Titia, I've missed the pictures of your scenery. You'll never bore me with your pictures and your words. I adore them If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |

Titia---You know I love these glimpses of your world. I've been in the city so long, I'd probably have trouble walking if I weren't on pavement. lol Thanks for the view! |

Put me to sleep? Never! Titia, I didn't want my car ride to end ever. This was simply beautiful, and I bookmarked this to read and veiw over and over. I can't wait to go to the seashore, when do we go? These picture poems of yours are incredible, and your photography is only secondary to your heart's words dear lady. Thank you for this. ~I always have time to listen to someone talking from their heart~ |

Thank you so much, Titia...it is snowing here in ALaska today, looks like winter is here to stay for awhile. I remember Dutch sunsets as I was lucky enough to spend a week in Holland many years ago. I understand your love affair with the peaceful sunsets in the countryside. |
