What Whispers?

what whispers might escape your lips
what messages impart
what longings might depart your kiss
as echoes from your heart

if oceans gathered deep in song
to a culminating roar
would their excitement feed the throng
in tunes of evermore

if pirouettes were made of lace
all strung with golden threads
might they dance in heaven’s grace
sweet visions in our heads

if we, as kittens, playful be
would frolic through the flowers
what might the joy of all we see
provide our waking hours

could there be tiptoes and skips
to lighten well our way
as distant rise of sailing ships
give glisten to the day

spinning, spinning reverie
my mind in sway’s a-fly
come, o come and dance with me
sweet joy to occupy


©August 9, 2002

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

You have both stroked my heart with lovely caresses.  I've just been telling myself I must, I must move myself away from this keyboard for I am as a huge porcelain jar filled with holes, spilling, spilling out messages from my mind and heart.

I should not hope to cause a flood, for floods can be disastrous.

But, thank you for reading and chiming your thoughts to me.

Yes, Interloper, the next dance is yours. Oh, me, it's going to my head and spinning any sense therein.

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Thank you, all, you've made my heart light and fairly dance!

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.
