I am swimming in a sea of words Aspired to heavenly things Presented in a feast Dreaming I saw a man Approaching Which God gave humbly Inspiring to love and do well Of this life’s winning Yet what fools we were As he silently whispered good-bye We were tinted with unknown images And clashing surges…yet, given such Soft, gentle delicate tones Drifting lights upon the surface A summer of deepest green Epitaph of nature In the calm of woodland life Yet what fools we were As he silently whispered good-bye Where ambition walked with us Melding with wandering mists of sea Sweeping holiday mirth across our minds In a land of harbored isles There were no hours of day As we leaped to welcome the light Yet what fools we were As he silently whispered good-bye |

This poem is for Gemtop he was a fool for leaving...and I a fool for believing...so we live and learn...going foward, hopefully a little wiser and better for the experience..but by God, I want to love like that again! |

Oh look what i've just found. How shocked am i? in awe and appreciation. I have no words for you, but thankyou. from the bottom of my broken heart, lol. This a soft echo of beauty found in pain. your words truly are filled with beauty, yearning and knowledge Lee. Oh this is haunting...but in an amazing comforting way. And these words apply equally to you, do they not? they were fools.  Thankyou friend. So so much. I'm off now, to read this again.  |
