Look out at the wild blue sea
Waves crashing upon the shore
Seagulls swoop in the air
Fiddler crabs play upon the sand
Children build sandcastles near the waves...

Morning Exercises:

I watch a flock of birds
stretch their wings and Fly.
They swoop and dip and dive,
exercising in the sky.
If birds do it, lazy me,
why don't I?...

It had to do with Clancy's pet fish.
	If its bowl would break,
	one swoop would it take
to proclaim Clancy's fish quite delish!...

lightning strikes
leaves nothing but
the shell of him
in one fell swoop
the loss of her
too much to bear

Shimmering chandeliers
Sway,
Ever,
So,
Slightly

As spirits
Twirl,
Swoop,
And
Glide

Rhythmically,
In tune.

Dancing,
To no
Music.

They swoop and droop in loops,
They sing and dance to natures music,
They tweet and chirp, but never will they burp,
Birds, are birds,
And that's what they'll always be...

Wearing just a cape he jumped into a group
With perfect meter
He yelled, "Super Peter!"
A voice in back said, "I'll just have the soup!"...

There's always been hope
open your heart
its one big swoop now
Mr Lewis  open the garden gate
to see a lane of lovers once more

Out from the gray
of a hazy green sea
a swoop of dark swallows
glides a colorless sky.

In silence they fly,
following the tip
of a conductor's baton.
Golden harps are their souls....

Fog bank

Shrouded cliffs

Mysterious

Cyprus trees lean inland against their will

Moisture drips like tears from sodden branches

Lichen on rocks

Seagulls swoop

Waves pound

Midnight tide
Come take my troubles away
Wash away my worry
Swoop away my pain
Roll away my sorrow
Tumble away my loneliness
Swipe away my tears
Carry away my fears
Midnight tide
Midnight tide
Oh, my midnight tide...
