The Waves Within

In canyons of the mind
One knows that they'll find
Where deep thoughts begin
Rise from what stirs within

Concealed well beneath
Good fortunes to unsheathe
In light then they're seen
From a place nobody's been
Scary schemes not to stay
Wild waves shall splash away

Seeking shores that inspire
Spark stars to burn this fire
Bright ideas will burst ablaze
Shine in awe for all days

So creative, Greg - waves of inspiration within us sloshing around "seeking shores." It's a great image! Are you going to enter this in the couplet contest? I really liked this poem.

Kind of you to ask Sam. But no, I enter another piece. Also, congrats on your recent first place in Brian's contest. I'll try the "Waves" with Brian, though it's tough for a pagan like me to break through. So it goes.
