Mary Susan Vaughn Poet Lyric

Santorini

One day I saw this picture 
Of Santorini, Greece 
A place in which I'd never been 
A place to find some peace 
I dreamed there'd be a day go by 
For travel to this place 
To feel the ocean calm and breeze 
To treasure all its grace 
  
But here I am, a bit older now 
And very much at home 
I travel to my favorite places 
In dreams I call my own 
I paint the places never seen 
I paint the ocean blue 
Imagining a beautiful place 
I'd love to travel with you 

Until that time I'll take you there 
On canvas and a brush 
A stroke of dreams and color too 
To while away the rush 
So look upon my painting 
With dreams of places far 
Places been and memories 
Of life outside your car 
  
But if you're ever stuck at home 
With nowhere far to go 
Let a painting tell your story 
Or take the time to sew 
For we can go most anywhere 
a journey from the start 
where peace resides and sunny days 
like the color in my art.

I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like.
