21 August



in a vision i saw you
now you are here
your gaze is soft upon me
poetry jam 




I cried out





As I walked the beach this morn
and heard the seagulls call

 stumbled through the maze of what my life has been thus far
and marveled at the blessings in my steps

when I saw my grown children taking on lives of their own
and stood in awe at the beauty that I found in them

 when I saw you gazing from across the willow grounds
and found familiar solace in your eyes

and when we watched the moon rise above the calmness of the sea
and stood in the reflection of it's light


I cried out

but no sound could crack the stillness

no words that I could utter would define

no beating of my heart could break the silence





for they have broken the barrier of the speed of sound

and crashed right through the speed of light

and still  no one has measured yet

a speed to break the sound of love

  5. Wow. Two gems. I especially love the emotions in the second poem, reflecting on all of the blessings, and the difficulty in articulating the depth of such love. Wonderful work!

    No one has measured but many had experienced it all, faced with mixed reactions. One still needs to resolve it when it comes! Nicely!

  17. Did you write this? Beautiful? I especially liked the last few lines -- it's creating a longing feeling in my soul, a feeling to stand in the meadow and watch the world and the life go by..not sure if I expressing it properly.
