[bodytext] => Am I here to look upon these lands for the blink of an eye? Will this gaze over pine clad hills be prelude to second act Or fleeting glimpse to be revisited only in memory And old photographs that capture images but not feeling and mood ? As free spirit I set foot on new and unfamiliar ground Where ancient tribes carved great temples from forests long since passed Pioneering new beginnings from the mouth of mighty oceans On these shores I am prisoner, captured by beauty Moth to the colours of a world where I am stranger My time here is measured, mayfly minutes all that I exist As dusk shrouds the land in deeper mysterious tones Lights flicker in the distance, like oncoming torch bearing warriors of old Palm trees in silhouette, timeless sentinels stand guarding the bay When darkness fills out the sky, stars like light catching sequins flicker the heavens Waves thump the shoreline, pounding heartbeat of the sea Tomorrow in the soft sand my footprints will be erased by the lightest breeze Everything will be as it was the day before I came, the only thing changed will be my memory [comments] => 2 [counter] => 446 [topic] => 21 [informant] => puppy_dog_eyes [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 15 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Lifepoems )
