Seas of Black Winds, Blast Walls of Solid Stone

Seas Of Black Winds, Blast Walls Of Solid Stone Fighting against waves, where night's bright moon shines In thought, a much needed stitch often saves, future life like seeded cones on green pines. Sealing doors, when escape demands harsh pays In their bravest deeds, heroes do much more than any that in their shame falsely prays. Deep dark nights, echoes ring chimes very clear With eternal hope, faith gifts saving lights loves united, dreams sent forth without fear. Dawn's bursting gaze, when black night terrors flee Happiness cuts deeply retreating haze, as new life and great joy cries let it be. Seas of black winds, blast walls of solid stone Tis little help, being bad to the bone. R.J.

Than you my friend. I simply wrote back then as I do now. For a couple decades only a handful of people knew I write poetry. I kept it private and wrote with the intent that it would be publicly seen only after my death..
