Notes About The Poem

Turkish Artist Abdullah Evindar Creates Fantastic Surreal Silhouette Photo Collages

- Air, Smell and Blessing -


It's about taking one day at a time
Feel the air, summertime or wintertime

Righteousness and heavenly glory
not in humiliation, shame or orgies

Cruises to the Caribbean are not my choice
in harmony with nature all will rejoice

For a believer, there is nothing that disturbs
God's word is true because the promises keep their word

Lovely sanctuary with sweeping sea views
a wonderful delight and beautiful blues

Human thoughts and words about spiritual wandering
Let's encourage each other, the time has come for pondering

Lovely penned, Anne-Lise... Now about that Caribbean Cruise Special I've lined up for you. Drastic price reduction -- only $299.98 including tips for meals. Think it over, ok. We board in 9 minutes. Bon voyage! Seriously, g.l. in the contest now. Happiness and Hope, Gershon

I believe we all have that sanctuary within ourselves, we just have to open our heart and soul to it. Well written Anne, words to ponder on. Good luck Tom
