Visions of Another Kind

As our ship leaves the harbor for parts unknown our eyes search the skies for a sign Visions of the past give way to visions of another kind Don't you realize what has happened? The old verities are now glowing embers in a room full of surprises Like a "jack in the box" happiness suddenly springs forth where sadness used to hole sway The great masters of reality will have their say! Isn't it time you watched the earth revolve? As it spins our hopes grow and are on the verge of being fuflilled Visions of another kind will take us to new, unimagined heights, leave us breathless on the shore as wave after wave strikes the sand leaving their imprint on our shores

Yes, Matt, my sports cars (I had three or four in my lifetime) were the source of great pleasure for me and symbolic of my younger life of fun and being carefree and happy. Hard to give that up and be more down to earth. It sucks in fact!!! (to get older) Luv, Andrea

Matthew, I interpret this poem in two different fashions, yet I'll go with the least likely! This could be the stepson of Christopher Columbus as he journaled thruout many of his adventures..Can you imagine reading that manuscript?? .Delightful personifying of waves as they slap the shores...Impressive and historical, which is near and dear to this soul!

This is beautiful, Matthew. I know I'm going to read it a few times over, before finishing this comment! Yep, it gets better and better!:) Can have many facets when looked at from different angles? Global change and reconcilliation. Fresh starts and new beginnings. This adds starch to this momentarily depressed world. Best wishes, Matthew!! Mikki
