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

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

Very true words...very lovely poem...It is good to get young ones involved..I never tire of teaching my Grandson about the beauty of Art and literature.

I couldn't agree more! Splendid and it makes it so much more meaningful having written this with your child. That's such an awesome feat having collaborated with your child.
