Digital Art Poe-a-tree

Roy Durham posted an open invitation last week to bloggers to write a verse for the Poe-a-tree Blog. The below bloggers responded with a stanza each. The entrants had fun and received terrific comments.  I received another invitation from Roy to add photo images for each stanza of the entries. 

Here are the poems, a link to each entrant, and my digital art images to match each poem. 

Oh how peaceful this time is for me. 

Standing here on the beach, the breeze blowing thru my hair and the tide to my knee.
My only wish is that you were here to enjoy this time with me.

I look out into the sea...

and see infinite beauty surrounding me...

where sky and men converge

into ONE vast reality...
and hope rises like sea bubbles
reaching ....

beckoning me to

embark in a ceaseless journey

embracing life

à bras ouverts

I pause at the ocean’s edge 

Open to my fate

The horizon looks unreachable

And totally unbreachable

Should I swim out and trust in fate 

Are you my gentle wave or my riptide

raging waves of emotion,                              

washed away by salty tears,
power of the beauty within

Eyes close
the touch of a salty breeze
caresses
in come the tide
out goes the tide
my heart and lungs
soon calm to match it

Natural energy fills
my entire being
yet another connection
to the world
as a whole is discovered
internalized

I am calm
and reflect
timeless thoughts
like the tides rolling in

I saw the waves rushing towards me,

calling my name and beckoning me.

'Come play with us, feel our love,

walk into our arms', they cajoled me.

They looked deceptively harmless,

and promised to keep me company.

I wanted to belong,

so I ignored the voice of reason,

and walked into the loving arms,

of the frothing waves of love and care.

Their soothing touch comforted me,

I felt a tingling in my toes.

the sand shifted from underneath,

I felt my entire world move.

Standing here looking out at the abyss of time,

Hearing the dyeing rasp of moments pasted

Looking out at hues of blue a ribbon twine

Sands of time chasseing rainbows via waves that splash

The future and the pasted the moment linger here

White top cream of dreams comes by the sevens

 My soul rides the foaming firth to find a way to heavens

But touching earth I linger here my foot print disappear

The dreams restrained washed at my feet

Pushing back yet pulling forth

Have I taking root my toes have found a seat

Foaming cream of dreams a tingling broth

Twilight on Ocean shore stars twinkle amongst slumbers snore

Wakening fracture of dreams as do pass

The loom of the moon sews dancing sprites along the shore

Precious thoughts wane and soar of dreams love valor and more
