The ancient jagged rocks stand, like black sentinels along the waterside, Protecting the land from the continuous raging tide. They are perpetually black, either slicked with water or as a sharp silhouette against a blue crystal sky. They dominate everything and are especially feared by every mariner that make their slow way by. On their landward faces they offer...

Sunflowers, cheddar-cheese petals surrounding seedy-brown-mustard centers, stand guard over hot summer pavement like mighty oaks. Laughing children run in and out the yellow forest, slaying dragons, rescuing damsels in distress, then pretending to be astronauts sailing across space to a planet inhabited by tall, green stalk-like aliens with golden helmets. Did van Gogh imagine such things as he painted so many saffron blooms? Did their sunny dispositions have any effect on...

Believers say stars took form through God's will, but scientists believe in the big bang. Although dubiously skeptical, I still behold breathtaking beauty, where they hang. Burning brilliantly, they'll end as...

I sat upon a weathered rock And looked across the fells, Emerging from the morning cloud Like ghostly sentinels. The rising sun revealing all In perfect clarity, A wonderland of serried peaks Appeared in front of me....

The Satanic Sentinels stand surreal As the facultative feces break the coded seal Thus you bow before the neglected night With futile forgiveness and loss of light Tactically trapped by the watchful wolves Dancing in the darkness with hideous hooves The skies seduced by a vulturous view Demonic disturbance in a bacterial brew The cadaverously condemned we seditiously salute And we drink the nefarious...

On a lowland moor, waved a sea of green Pastoral gardens, peaceful and serene Ocher blossoms, kissed by the sun were posing for a painting I 'd begun In this placid glen, nature's beauty reigned Captured with brush before sunlight waned Cornwall's grey sentinels rose to the sky Granite cliffs worthy for artists to descry I scaled a mountain to glimpse the sea Humility...

All embracing swirling cloud Below a leaden sky. A fleeting glimpse of hidden fells, Shadows, reaching high. Towering grey sentinels, Guardians of the land. In the cloud, and glowering gloom Unerringly they stand. Oh but when revealed to us Beneath a cobalt sky, Ne'er has such beauty fell Before a mortal eye....

When lyrics and music are combined they take on a whole new life. When chlorine and sodium assimilate they make salt. Separately they are limited, combined they are significant. Together we can accomplish much, divided we dither. Salty Sentinels By James E. Tate Sodium ions stable, assembled on the table, Salivating palates crave. Chlorine ions tiny, mustering soldiers briny, Guarding corners brave. Sodium...
