This morning’s Nor-easter as last night’s clouds. by ghinson

Now to her berth, the ship draws nigh:
We shorten sail, – she feels the tide, -
‘Stand clear the cable’ is the cry, -
The anchor’s gone; we safely ride.
The watch is set, and through the night
We hear the seamen with delight
Proclaim, – ‘ All’s well! ‘

Just another little boat by Kaoscube

When it gets too rough
out at sea
and I start to drown,
the water attempting to swallow me,
you are my rescuer.
My lifeboat.
You pull me aboard into
your warm embrace
and save me from
the turbulent emotions
of my inner ocean.

February Evening by midlander1231

I longed to view that bliss divine
Which eye hath never seen,
To see the glories of his face
Without the veil between.

Poms Square by pusspaw

The world has sown it’s flowers so long ago
The soil remained dry but with time they began to grow
Dormant for eons the earth shall break
After all freedom was is at stake
As water wears away all within it’s path
The rock of fear crumbles and left in the past

one woman and her dog by datawise

I’m a happy dog at the beach
If I had the power of speech
I would tell you all
To throw my ball
I’m a happy dog at the beach

Winter burn by garykingphotography.com

Not for me the furnace glow,
Rage of fire and ashen doom;
To sweet earth my bones bestow
Where above a lowly tomb
January roses bloom.
