 Aye, look from shore as far as eye can sea At waving tiers of wont. Your pounding heart Beats harmonies on lonely bights, a part Of shoals deep passion is revealed to me. A spray of droplets whispers in my ear As symphonies brew tempests that cascade Effluent torrents - Thence, soul's all is said. Transuding chants of seasong's muse I hear Upon mere's surface - heart and soul in frith's Fluidic dance about the brink of tide. Aye, hold this citadel's embrace ashore In countenance amount this earthen plinth's Protective strand, your deep lee sanctified In Heaven's light, asea forever more.  Waft every crest upon your destined sea |

*sigh* here where I have mountains to the west of me and endless prairie to the east I can still feel blessed when I have the chance to read your work and feel again the memories of the ocean with all its power and emotion. BRAVO!!! I love this poem.  Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |

Now this is the kind of poetry that I could lose myself in. I discover new depth and new meaning every time I read it. Excellent, Nan! [This message has been edited by Denise (edited 11-04-2001).] |
