Beautiful portraits..

First new poem in a while..

                 Beautiful portraits...

I drew with my pen, beautiful places and beautiful faces to paper.

I keep alive kind memories, I keep alive the memories of the ancient cities,

I once saw.

I create with my pen, portraits of the great sea, I create wonderful portraits of the great forest.

I once visit.

And I draw with my pen, portraits of the Clinton river going into the Lake St. Clair.  

I try to remember the magic of the waterfalls that touched my skin once.

I try to remember the peace and quiet of a naked sea.

Where the moon and the star left me to swim in the beauty of the night.

I know. If I don't write down the kind, and gentle memories.

One day, they could be forgotten.

Today I paint my world with words of wonder and mystery.

I have learn. You must seek the places of beauty and

you must remember names and faces of our dear friends and lovers.

Today I know. We must seek the places of beauty, 

we must remember the beautiful faces.

To know peace, joy and happiness in a long life.

Coyote

It is so inspiring how you keep the good things alive more than the bad..
I seek to be more like that.
A lot can be learned from you, in that respect, friend.

Beauty captivates the human heart and mind. One actively seeks it. I loved your quest for beauty. The poem is so beautiful to read.

More than any other poet I've read your poetry is made of memories. Poems that become stories that feel like poetry. Nostalgic and personal. You paint the sea of your experience and we sail into your past. I look forward to docking at your next port.

Thank you William. I need a year at Big Sur. I would never complain again.
