Beach Fence by Lori L. Garske

Blow, blow, thou winter wind
Thou art not so unkind
As man’s ingratitude;
Thy tooth is not so keen,
Because thou art not seen,
Although thy breath be rude.

From: Blow, Blow Thou Winter Wind by William Shakespeare

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.

From: In Memory of a Happy Day in February by Anne Bronte

speak the truth within lies
and the beauty has been burned in my soul

Night Lights by T & N Politi

Without warning, without expectation
The pier lights become less intense & fade away
They bow to the dawn and disappear
Reappearing at dusk in an un-darkened cape as a shadowy figure.

From: Pier Lights by Robert Sheridan

Greenan Castle by Jim Richmond

I had a picture in my mind
Wisely crafted
I took my time
Purposely painting stunning hues
Striking in their pleasant views

From: Castle in the sky… by Betty Jo Hilger

the sunrise dune by antonious (www.anthonyaphoto.com)

Stay, O sweet and do not rise!
The light that shines comes from thine eyes;
The day breaks not: it is my heart,
Because that you and I must part.
Stay! or else my joys will die
And perish in their infancy.

Daybreak by John Donne

Scrooge by ilina s

How long will you assault me?
Would all of you throw me down—
this leaning wall, this tottering fence?

Psalm 62: 3
