Adam

not that the sun rises out of the ocean
it does'nt
nor the moon sail the night time sky
it would'nt
would that the stars sprinkle themselves in the ocean
if they could
and the sea reflect the sky in motion
yes it would
let clouds wander by themselves 
and be good
would that winds practice their gentle breeze
like they should
and waves reach the shore with ease
surround myself with palm trees
make the promise to never leave
ask the Lord for my Eve
and think 
this is how it will always be

I saved this one to my favs a long while ago..it was such a dreamy type of poem and from a male perspective. Refreshing. It WOULD be nice to see the moon sailing the sky and the stars sprinkling the ocean. Oh, and the thot of winds practicing is very smooth. Let them practice on ME! Best to u, Gwendolen

A wonderful poem and you will eventually find your eve. Glad you are okay and sounds like the tornado was a scary thing. Glad no one was hurt and that you and your family are fine. Take care love phyl

Your "Eve" will come to you when least expected, John. I love the way you describe the reflection of the sun, moon and stars on the ocean. When I go offshore fishing, these reflections make me feel so serene. Lovely poem, John
