Poem of the Day

11.04.2025

- Be Brave Billy -

        Believe in yourself
        don’t dwell in the past
        Until things become clear
        Sail your ship
        let the stars be your guide
 
              Blue moon
              Broken lantern
              Bottle emptied
              Black sea boots
              Burn the bridges
              Break the waves
        - before they splash against the limestone
              Behave yourself
              Bubbly buddy
              Be brave
              Breathe  
              Blissful Billy
              Blessing

         A lighthouse’s light through the mist
         the protector on the ocean, 
         wings and man
         A fleeting remark ...
         face the challenges as they come
         -  eclipse never comes alone
