Provisions at Day’s End

 

 

Enchanted within my mind

A whispered dream of mine

A nightly flight of fancy

A string of mist

Ideals collected

What should be

Colorful visions

One can't see

A trickle of sand couple

With the white

Perhaps it’s something

Within a dream

Stretched out

Are the waters

Calm

As they so often are

As it’s evening

 

A reflective time

A source of tranquility

Something calls me

As I watch and take it all in

The gentleness of the water

The night sounds

Silent whispers

Sitting I am and just listen

The waters move

In the most gentle manner

Through the soft clouds

The moon casts its glow

Dreamy colors softly show

The waves gently move

Yet there is a whisper

In natures way

And the moon’s night

The evening comes and leaves

Seemingly telling me

Within this place

There is an amazing grace

  1. So to this place
    I shall return
    to feel its mood sweep o're me
    Enchant me so
    I'll always know

    Thank you, Jack. You've put me in such a peaceful frame of mind.

  5. Within beauty and all
    The snowflakes still will fall
    But soon within time
    There will be no sliding on ice
    For that friend of mine

    Good night endearing friend..
    Need I say more?

  7. Well said she said
    Yet we all said it
    We had our splendor
    Within our day
    We mentioned this
    As well as that
    Yet what was grace
    Was what they said

    Indeed we said...

  9. No, I just came to this and a friend sent me a picture from a different state and when I saw Charlie and his response, then I thought I would flow with it.

    But yes it's time for bed!
    I bid you a good night.

  14. kitts ..u've read it beautifully too.

  15. I did the same, enchanted into crafting a verse of my own. How lovely to have someone willing to share their prose!

    How I love the water.

  16. Water and age, or passing years, seem endlessly entwined.
    Living near or seeing water each day reminds us how turbulent it can be.
    'In life we are in Death', I believe the pulpit quote to be.
    Perhaps this is what we have in mind when attracted to its tranquility?
    Since your poem brings such thoughts to me I must say thank you.

  20. This is a flow Bill, very nice, and thank you.

  21. Here is the neat thing...Lyn sent me the picture by email. I was not sure what to write, then I was right in that mood of being spontaneous when I saw the picture and now in the morning I am listening to her and - what do you call that. As well, I read Bill's and that is all something that just happens with out any request. With the exception of the picture which comes from Georgia. Ironic isn't it?

  25. I was just about to log off Lyn, I thank you for your picture, I forgot that it's in Florida. Last night I had a block with writing and now you can see what came about with your picture.
    If we are a group we certainly have a great melody!

    A great day to you. And thank you for the picture....
