Turquoise Sea I've been to you with misty eyes so many times Yet, you've never had the chance to see who I am There were dreams that laid within my hands, they surely did But, I took it day by day without a single plan... You've never seen what I was given night after night I'm not even sure if you'd believe I held splendid for a while But, allow these words of proof to show you what not even the mind can make up For, at one time, I swear, I had it all... In your great sense of the ability to take ones fear out of sight You've done beyond what my writings could ever say in words Now, let me show you the side of me that has a different journey to walk So, let me make this plural in the ways of what you've never heard... My favorite is what our Mighty God has sent me to see Call me fortunate since I strolled through mile after mile And, not once did I look behind at what I had to go back to For this was just one of those times I wasn't parting with this smile... Look into your mind and see water of a whole new kind of blue But, know this was real to me but just an image to you Unless you stay with me in a state of what you will allow yourself For this water has a warmth, I can tell you, you've never felt... I just need to show how the water is more vivid then others Take away what the color of water is supposed to be Now, take my hand and walk along side of me to a shade never mentioned Stand here and look at this breath taking turquoise sea... There's a difference in it's waves then any sea you've stood beside Because these waves here sing beautiful lullabies And, don't you know their movement is just a way to communicate to few? They never repeat themselves in the same manor any time they move... There's that shade of blue touched with the cloudy white that comes to the edge It just fades a little the closer it gets to shore Then it leaves us and reunites with the next current again And, goes back out in the water and becomes more vivid then before... With your hand in mine let it take us with the powerful tides We can move in directions not possible to the human eye So, keep hold and travel with me out on that water out there Cause not just it's color is what I am wanting to share... Let's go to the other side of the water you've just seen I just love being in the middle of that bluish-green For on the other side lies a land meant for the open ones And, trust me when I say you've never seen a more brilliant sun... Across there lies sand still just below the gold beyond gold And, still to your right lies the sea just as on the other side Just let the color rush upon your feet there in the sand beneath But, don't let it's meaning nearly pass you by... If you'll look you'll see the fragile emeralds that fall all around And, they don't even disappear once they hit the ground Hold them and let them sift between your fingers like sand It's the only time you'll touch them like this unless you're in my land... There's also a bridge trimmed in sequence so hard on the eyes Once on, it will sway to your heartbeat unlike any ride It moves from side to side to allow you yet another view For, there's those dancing roses it's offering you to take home with you... You must not let go for I have but one more thing to show Look how here there are diamonds that actually grow They stand for pure as the color that you can almost see through It allows you to see normal again but remember that you were beyond the blue... There it is a profile of where you can take yourself to But, please know, it's a place of peace from within me as a gift to you So, just follow still without letting go of me And, we'll walk that bridge on back away from this turquoise sea... If you ever find a moment life seems so hard to live Remember there's an entirely new world still with much to give You've given me a view for a future and a goal, My friend, and so I'm giving you water of blue that's always there but don't forget your rose... *Sauni* @~~>~~> Sauni @~~~>~~ |

Saunni, soft and pulsating, like the sea itself. Kethry Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

 STANDING OVATION!!! Oh my gosh, your breathtakingly beautiful words take us all beyond the blue and into your lovely heart of emeralds and diamonds of peace and love within. (smiles) Your period soars against the soft waves, takes us all across bridges of faith, and has our hearts wings soaring into heavens within. (sigh) Oh Saunni, I love it, your words are soooooo breathtakingly beautiful! I love you, sweet friend! (kiss on cheek) God Bless You always! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Saunni, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |
