Pensacola Whispers

04 May 2006


If I pause again
will you break my heart
Of those Pensacola days
and the panhandle you behold

As if your home was across a county
and a gulf breeze whispering on the wind
A voice speaking in waves of kind
the frequency attuned to your heart

No body to stand those jealous winters
for summer was your freedom to seek
As far off Alabama did wait
this road to Georgia, accounting
Eleven and ‘Ten’ to escape

Every number, a number to remember
over the silence of blood renewed
Your smile, you grace, no pause to truth
another day to dream in childhood


At 448 metres (1471 feet) long, the Pensacola Beach Gulf Fishing Pier in Florida, USA,
is the longest pier on the Gulf of Mexico. Where many kinds of marine life from dolphins,
manatees, brown and cow rays, different types of sharks, crabs. In addition, to marine birds
are found. Along with sunsets to awestruck any visitor and local alike. Or to dine on
sandwiches, hot-dogs, nachos, cold drinks, snacks. Seated at several tables shaded
with umbrellas for your comfort while you eat at the Pensacola Beach Pier diner.

Enjoyed this poem of the town where I grew up!!
I have always loved the beach. It has been known
to have the whitest beaches in the world.
Ivan tried to tear it up, but it's coming back.
Hugs,
Ethel

Ethel

you might just have made my day, over two poem I recently composed, that I used Pensacola in the title.

I had considered not sharing them on this site, because 90% of my recent poems here have zero comments next to them

Perhaps I will add another after all

I know my writing is good, even if no one on PIP tells me that much if I am right or not

When you can find in your heart those words that speak, you also find the inner-voice that whispers them back to you

Of a times when the spirit truly runs from within (like I stopped by here, and spontaneity took my hand and led to what comes next)

Dixie at Rest

06 May 2006


To find heart, and gather soul
an understanding to endure
Her love, her empathy
the way as if virginity pure

The softness of a hand
her gentle touch
Beauty never taken
in ways for granted

The foundation of friendship
even be this new to taste
Running forth, a heart
voices calling, was it haste

Unable to see her, hidden
a cage, bars to sweet breath
Knowing her, her solemn giving
to dream a dream and be at rest

passing shadows - may I ask how you did that, how your dropped in on the page above, while I was composing these words at the exact same time you were there. All unknown but in spirit to me
