This one needs a lot of work. Have at it...talk to me! I'll read what you have to say tomorrow when I'm more awake.

Cape Arago Light at Coos Bay

atop huge amber stones
masterfully grown
out of the depths of the sea

as if topaz and limestone
were rising in a minuet,
they stand above white-capped, azure waves,

She, a silent sentry in pristine white
red shawl and cap
smiling back with ebony eyes a-gleam.

Cape Arago light glistens
at land’s end
speaking safety to those at hand

As the power of silence
drenches my ears in awe,
and my skin in amazing cool,

my mind drifts to the ancients
who would escape Neptune’s anger
by the pull of the inviting beam

calling, calling, calling.

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

I really like it Virginia. I love looking at the light houses and think how they shine over the night guiding those to safety. Well done. Hugs.

If I have touched one heart through my words, then I have acheived my dream...

(smiles) Oh my gosh, I have seen Coos Bay, it is soooooo breathtaking there, I love it, I saw that lighthouse and every one north to Tillamook! (kiss on cheek) This is a wonderful captivating vision, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Virginia, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
