Photo of the day: SUNRISES – Part of Mondays on Memory Lane, a few weeks ago I found my junior high school poetry project from 1973 (see Jan. 20, 2014 post for the story) called “Reflections on My World“. There are twelve poems, here is the fourth “Sunrises” heavily influenced by listening to the awesome Beatles 1969 song “Because” on my ’Abbey Road’ album over and over again with my giant headphones on in my room.
SUNRISES
Isn’t the earth beautiful?
Just sitting here alone
getting high.
That beautiful sunrise,
isn’t it beautiful?
The sunrise, reaching,
so far and wide,
Into so many lands –
Waking all the lands of God.
Isn’t is beautiful?
I wish it could last
forever.
Just sitting here,
getting high.

“The Sea”, 1973
Photo of the day: THE SEA – Part of Mondays on Memory Lane, a few weeks ago I found my junior high school poetry project from 1973 (see last Monday’s post for the story) called “Reflections on My World”. There are twelve poems, here is the second “The Sea”.
THE SEA
Oh great and almighty sea!
How I wonder what lies down
beneath your dark and murky depths.
You hold the secrets of the earth –
the creator of life.
Majestic in your vast greatness –
beautiful in your shallows –
lighting up the hearts of many.
Bearing the wonders of the sea
exotic fish of all colors
there for me to see,
your endless waves rolling into our minds.
Oh God! How I hope we will never
destroy you!
