[hometext] => People often ask me how I get the ideas to the songs I write. This is my answer
[bodytext] => I have to get away from the silence it deafens my hearing with sounds of remorse I missed something in my childhood and in my adulthood, I give it someone else I walk down the long road toward the beach I watch the golfers walk with their sons I stop for a while and I watch them I sigh and then I move on The sun is bright and there is no shade only the feint breeze the whisper on the wind They, for a moment blow on my loneliness and I forget partially why I am sad I hear it as I turn the corner by the college the calling of the shore the voice of home and, the waves singing songs Like spires they stand before me ten foot jagged rocks with cracks down the sides I toss my back pack over my shoulder as I climb Then I see them, smooth round stones on which to sit I sigh as I watch the water roll in and out hope comes to me and loneliness leaves I take out my pen and I write a song My friend is the waves My joy is the cool breeze My hope is tomorrow and my love is my father I am humming a tune when I leave the silence is quieted by noise and when I get home my friend is waiting "Where have you been" he asks "My quiet place" I reply "I've been calling you for the last hour "Want to go see a movie" he asks I place my back pack on my bed quietly humming the song of an answered prayer. Note; I wrote 3 other poems that carry the same title as this one that I will not be posting on the site. This poem gives a glimspe of my surroundings and one of the 2 places I go to write or to sort things out with myself [comments] => 4 [counter] => 180 [topic] => 21 [informant] => Archie [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 7 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Lifepoems )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
