[hometext] => I woke up thinking about this
[bodytext] => I saw her first at twilight on the 4th of July in St. Augustine in beauty, sitting like Otis, on a dock of the bay. Silhouetted against a red sky, in years not more than fifteen, looking at her, I know am lost, I can’t tear myself away. On that dock, I the sailor in my dress whites, she in a pirates hat, sit, stay to keep another boy away; we talk as the sun goes down. Watching the fireworks, and celebrations; for hours we sat, I see naught but her; oblivious to all, in her eyes I want to drown. She was perfect, a vision that to all others made me blind, long hair, longer legs, and eyes that refused to be denied. A true Southern Bell, engaging, funny, smart and refined, beauty and perfection, I will never get her out of my mind. The legs are still long and lovely; the hair is shorter and gray, she is still funny, and smart, the loveliest thing I have ever seen. Half a century has passed since that walk on the dock that day, I wake next to her I still see the girl on the dock of the bay, in my mind still fifteen.

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. ©
