Morning on the Dock
I hail the dawning
on a tottering dock
breathing the newness
of time
the whispering waters
and buoyant breeze
catch up my spirit
to joy
with arms outreaching
face turned to the sky
make way for the light
of grace

- Stunning! And for me a double meaning; my daughter's name is Grace. Seeing that new layer of meaning, for me personally, made it all the more breathtaking. You are incredibly talented and I thank you for sharing your work.

- Another wonderful offering my friend. I like your style immensely. You must be a Browning or Dickenson fan. It's wonderful how effortlessly your poems seem to flow. Check out my poems Annapolis City Dock and It's a Wonderful Place. Both are acrostic again and are written to accompany the attached paintings by a favorite artist of mine. Look closely at the detail within the paintings. The artist's name is Paul McGehee. He graduated from school the same year as me and has a gallery in Alexandria Virginia. Thanks again for sharing....
