From shore, the outline of relax, a solitary thin As one with self and sun, at dawn set sailing Test lines, and tensile strength, adventures in begin In company of angels, determined wit prevailing To trade for all the gold, by day or night again A boat or shoreline could be grounds set trailing Cast far beyond the break, far beyond the surfs soft tin In colors all his own, the see of all he’s hailing Abridged the canvas cap tops rod and real treasure Oar back, the tide has turned, the storm unveiling And think against the race to trace life’s fullest pleasure But then to be again a fisherman in sea songs wailing And I have watched the picture paint against the hues of autumn But never to be told the words, “Gave up before I caught ‘em!” Copyright Kkh 7/27/03 [This message has been edited by ThisDiamond (07-28-2003 07:51 PM).] |

Abridged the canvas cap tops rod and real treasure Oar back, the tide has turned, the storm unveiling And think against the race to trace life’s fullest pleasure But then to be again a fisherman in sea songs wailing Your writing sets me adrift, like a song that sings to my soul. TD~ I hope you know! |

adrift over here too pulled in and lured by a beautiful song of the sea, what a lovely place to be right now.... |

And I have watched the picture paint against the hues of autumn But never to be told the words, “Gave up before I caught ‘em!” TD, I have been getting many messages in this area. Hmmm...I think I'd better heed these words. I am tucking this one away for future inspiration...which, by the way, I know I will need...because I know me. Wonderful! Patricia |
