[hometext] => Some places just simply inspire you, this was one such place.A place called Lake Bled in Slovenia.What a privilege to have visited
[bodytext] => Ripples danced from the bow as we gently cast ourselves from shore Serenely gliding over crystal water like skating on glass Oarsman standing tall, looking over and beyond us Children of Eden stared to the distant island with it's tower at the top Silence as we journeyed on, lost in worlds inspired by this one Broken only by oars dipped as both propeller and rudder Like ferried pilgrims to the centre of the lake, rowed on Children of Eden daring once more to dream Finally moored at the landing place, alighted on the lowest of steps Skyward looking, to the summit with its courtyard welcome mat Grey stone flags that echoed with memories of the past Children of Eden once more setting it alive The small church we entered, it's outside simple and plain Row upon row of dark wooden pews led us to the altar We stood in line to take our turn, six times to pull on the hanging rope Children of Eden stepped forward to the light, each to make their wish The moments passed, we lingered there, walked in a silent mass For long minutes, like the faces in the paintings we did not move As each pulled the rope, the bell tolled to announce it to the world Children of Eden reflecting on the now and the yet to be On the other shore as we disembarked, the mist claimed back that place Yet once seen forever recorded there, photograph in memory As the veil came slowly down, curtained the day Children of Eden faded away, took the journey home [comments] => 5 [counter] => 246 [topic] => 48 [informant] => puppy_dog_eyes [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )

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. ©
