To the Pretty Jerseyboy |

The ocean lost her voice this morning, muffled in a blanket of fog, there is barely a line of separation between sea and sky, not that ever there was one, i sit catecorner to the enclave of silvergulls, "move over i tell them" this is just as much the birthright of the bottlehead blonde, as it is yours, we are both, afterall, pathless for now, i close my eyes and feel the touch of you, but you are no more there than the apparition the birds wait upon, i will lament you, with eyes open or shut for weeks to come, you are the beautiful onyx butterfly that danced across my shoulder in a passing moment, dark with wings, o how i've come to revel in the glory of the noctornal, soon your hold on me will soften, as the mute voice of the fog covered ocean, as i strenghten and lay my soul alongside the withered foam that kicks up again in the random winds that take it out to the sanctuary of the deep dark sea. |

What wonderful imagery within this little wrap of gold... Brooklyn is a little corner tucked near the seashore's heart... Smiles, TD |

hmmm.. that was splendid! Such longing...and knowledge coupled together to make a beautiful song of a wonderful memory. "cast me gently into the morning, for the night has been unkind" |

as i strenghten and lay my soul alongside the withered foam that kicks up again in the random winds that take it out to the sanctuary of the deep dark sea. This is so beautiful, Michele. I especially love this ending. Hugs, |

Fabulous! The clouds never expect it when it rains, but the sea, changes colour, but the sea, does not change. |
