eyes tested the horizon
for any ship she might see.
Her lover had sailed away
many years ago never to return.
News that his ship was lost
in some great storm
had drifted back through the years,
but no one really knew.
Now each day she dressed in black
and waited on Widow’s Warf,
always hoping and praying
for her lover to return.

Beyond the snow tipped mountains,
The guardians of winter lay fast asleep.The endless night has fallen,upon each sleepy head.The virgin wilderness lay silent,without a whisper said.A sky of many colours,stretches on forever.Across this mystic land,with its silent splendour.Never touched by human hand.A writer and a painter,recluse of I know not where.Find solace in the conclusion,that no one will intrude there.Mind…
Oh Lord, we all walk different paths in our daily lives.
Does that make us worse than any other who believes in you?We take these paths, not because we are bad,but because of circumstances beyond our control.Therefore, as we say our prayers each dayforgive us from any wrong that we do.Amen(13 July 2007)
If I could read your mind love,
I want to know,if your love is true.If I could read your mind love,it would tell me of your despairthat you hold within,and maybe the solution of how to repair.If I could read your mind lovewhat wonderful thingsI would find thereof your love and how you care.Sadly that’s not possible,I can only guesswhen you’re feeling…
