Ocean of dreams
With thoughts of the night,
And waving goodbye
As the day drifts from sight,
With the statuesque stance
Of a ship on the sea,
That carves through the shadows
And brings you to me.
Through the darkness of hours
Peep the minutes of light,
Like a seafaring vessel
With sails shining white,
And the sun speckled edges
That call out to me,
Scatter gold everywhere
On that soft shining sea.
While the black silk of evening
So perfectly swirls,
With a moon echoed sky
Full of silver soft pearls,
I can feel your eyes dance
In the depths of my heart,
With the velvet refrain
Of a love soon to start.
As those wine satin curtains
Throw wide to the day,
And my eyes slowly open
As morning mists play,
I can still smell your fragrance
Escaped from the dark,
And it makes my soul fly
Like the rise of a lark…
OurEcho is a FREE SERVICE dedicated to capturing and sharing the individual
"bits and pieces" that define our local communities. It might be a bit of
interesting local history, an old photograph, a special memory or just a funny
story. We are particularly interested in those fascinating and intriguing
events/people (both large and small) that we all encounter as part of the human
experience. It might be something that happened recently or something passed
down to you through your family. Our goal is to provide a forum for local
communities to share who they are through their stories and photographs. When
you take the time to share these reflection with others, you help us better
understand you, the world we live in, and if we are lucky, they help us better
understand ourselves.
