Searching

The ocean sparkles with a fading sun
And moonlight fills the sky
Like a gentle flicker of a flame
Imagination soars on high


Like the empty canvass of an artist
Pictures painted in our mind
Of the peaceful, tranquil waters
Can be sometimes hard to find


Within the shadows of indifference
And the darkness from above
Truths light will guide us on our way
With the gentle touch of love


It’s what is deep within our troubled soul
We sometimes wish to hide
But to give presence to our precious dreams
In our hearts we must confide

About this poem:
This is a poem my daughter and I wrote together a few years back ... It was a wonderful experience writing this together ... We must all seek for what lies deep inside our hearts and our souls and evolve our abilities to make them our realities ... Peace to all ...

Peace indeed - that's the dream for everyone, well everyone sane at least. I don't know if I could write a poem with anyone, I imagine it would be difficult though I have sat with one of my brothers and my son and written lyrics for music they play. It's a peaceful, gentle write

thumbs up purple heart

Thank you ... I must say it had its challenges but writing something with your children has got to be one of the most satisfying things one could ever do ... It's a way for a parent to really connect with what is in their heart grin
