Blue-Gray Waves

BLUE/GRAY WAVES The sun is gone behind the clouds, Soft shades of misty blue, Gentle waves lap at the shore, And through the mist I see you. You're pullin' in your net again, You set your sail against the haze. You disappear behind the mist, Hidden from my quiet gaze. Blue-gray clouds engulf the shore, You never saw my silent wave. You never knew that I was there, Your eyes beheld but blue-gray waves. Judy Ball

He may have been the most kindest of man, we can't judge the unknown until knowledge has been grown. I so love this terrific Quatrain Judy, I can see why you are in my favourites :)

Thanks so much my friend. He is great to remember but never got close enough to see his face. Never spoke to him. Just watched from the shore. Sometimes it's better that way. For all I know he could have been a nasty person. God Bless, JB

Good write. For me it read very well. I love the Quatrain style so much and by a lovely poetess.
