Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

Sounds of Eternity

Sunshine glitters across the water
in a tireless playful motion, and
a dreamy hypnotic music of eternity
ripples on through my nights.

I close my eyes, transported to a dock
of my youth where soothing waves 
greet me, enticing me, inviting me, rocking me.
And I abandon myself to the lullaby
that could just as easily be the arms of a lover.

As "waves" are "rocking me, I abandon myself to the lullaby." This thought curls gently around me and my heart. Beautiful in every way. Your words caress the page with elegance and grace. Congratulations Line, on Poem of the Day. My best to you. Hugs, Brandy
