From the expanse of heaven
Of calm blue and soothing clouds

I soared into the soothing

exploring its expanse with

The Abyss

I gaze up 
Into the Abyss of darkness,
The expanse of blackness.
And see their smiling faces gazing back at me.
Shining, beaming,
Glowing, gleaming.
I'm glad to 
Know

As in deeper blue.

Loaning Birds

who shall
loan
a bird
to me.

for i am
small
i am 
farther
than
the  blank
expanse 
between
word and speaking.

who shall
loan
a bird
to me.

For the worn
blanket
of my being
does not call me
mighty.

Lighthouse With Its Romance

A lighthouse,
With its romance,
Stretches,
Into ocean expanse,
Stars dress the night sky,
Where has my love,
Sailed,
For roses,
and croissants,
I miss her,
Gazing at our moon

Premium Member Memory - Ocean

I have watched the ocean beneath speckled sky;
An infinite expanse that wobbles and turns.
Seen seagulls in gyrating motion flying high,
when in whirling eddies and currents, water churns

Lonely Peace

Eyes of blue and green
Stare out over the expanse
Hair of golden red and brown
Slides smoothly over shoulders
Fair Irish French skin
Sits by the lake side
I'm sitting
On a brick wall
No other resides

Space To Dream

I need words-
Good words-
Words as voluminous
As a circus tent
That comes with a zipper
So that I can envelop myself
In their resplendent expanse,
Seal myself in,
And still have enough space
To dream
