Maybe a Boat

There are some shores
That I wish to cross
But find myself
With muted thoughts
And hope to
Find a better way
Than wander in
Without a plan
To find myself
On land again
Across the shore
Unknowing and
Without breath
To wonder more

The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ,
Moves on: nor all your Piety nor Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all your Tears wash out a Word of it

-- Omar Khayyam

    thoughts of dancing ina desert
    with fire and with wisdom and with the grace of heavens scent
    in our hearts the day never ends
    the night never ends
    nothing ever ends
    thanks to everyone who can read what i write without having to say something mean

    enjoying more poetry this AM - thank you!
    Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
    As she slams the door in his drunken face
    And now he stands outside
    And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
    He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
    What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
    Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
    And his tears fall and burn the garden green

    That is absolutely the most beautiful and refreshing thing to hear.
    Please write more about the sea.....
