5159 Sacrifice in Darkness 09 March 2006 Death to a broken heart love to a soul that died Where was living to be unnoticed in dark Struck between immortal what morale brings peace As if confidence was not the seed black to colour not bright Dismal to surrounding was this the knight to depart For she would never surrender who said prayer was to answer Sacrifice or sacrilege a farewell from long off There was no tomorrow because then it was day “And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.” Genesis 1: 2, 4-5, 18 KJV © 2006 Christopher W Herbert (a New Zealand Poet) a poet who cares |

5423 Words of Dixie 25 May 2006 Night comes again and daylight then Another story, left untold Two hearts, too happening one together, both united This happiness of both across a planet unfold Oceans and seas, Pacific in quest this Gulf of Mexico, wind blowing south White sands of passion, if only told a truth impossible, yet real enough Night passing, new day borne this generation, coupled in heart Where was yesteryear, that venture gone another moment to surrender in being told The Gulf of Mexico is a major body of water bordered and nearly landlocked by North America. The gulf's eastern, north, and north-western shores lie within the United States of America (the states of Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas); the south-western and southern shores of the Gulf lie within Mexico (the states of Tamaulipas, Veracruz, Tabasco, Campeche, Yucatán, and Quintana Roo); on the southeast it is bordered by Cuba. In connecting with the Atlantic Ocean via the Florida Straits between the United States and Cuba, and with the Caribbean Sea via the Yucatan Channel between Mexico and Cuba. The total area of the Gulf of Mexico is approximately 1.6 million square kilometres (615,000 square miles), the southern third of which lies within the tropics, and plunges to a depth of 2,080 fathoms (3804 metres). This deepest part is Sigsbee Deep, an irregular trough more than 300 nautical miles (550 kilometres) long, sometimes called the “Grand Canyon under the sea.” The Gulf Stream, is a warm Atlantic Ocean current and one of the strongest ocean currents known, originates in the gulf. © 2006 Christopher W Herbert (a New Zealand Poet) a poet who cares |
