From Where I stand *~~ That road bends Around a curve obstructed By that hill Where I can no longer View its destination The action towards me Does not alter Anything for those traveling Upon it. ~~* By the bay There, the horizon sits Where in days of old Was located The edge of the world I’m unable to view it At this moment. A swift breeze Corrupts my sight Carrying a mist Where I can no longer See the fine line That constructs the horizon. *~~ I am unable to observe The sailing ship sailing Towards An unknown destination Disappearing into the infinity Of the unholy fog Like a ghost. ~~* I am blest By the glorious sun setting Over the mountain range Before me. *~~ Standing like a sentry Separating the dusk From the velvet darkness Of the night. ~~* Leaving me Standing all alone Under the silvery beams Of the beautiful brightness Of a full moon *~~ By: William Bonilla “D’Artagnan” 05/17/08**

Descriptions beyond compare. This is a lovely write, the mist, the water, the moon, and you enjoying it so much. It takes a dreamer to make up the world sometimes and this is so much more comparable to some other writes I have read. Good. **********

To truly 'see' what is before our eyes and enjoy its majesty with such delight are an insight into the man I've come to know and love.

God bless you. Kathy

William, this poem speaks so much to me. I can feel exactly what you were feeling when you wrote this. I know not the depths of your emotions, but I can feel all of them. This moon was exceptionally beautiful wasn't it. It is the Scorpio moon, and that is magical all in itself. You words are just so magnificent just like this moon..
Much peace, love, and light,
Amber "V"

There are things we see and things we cannot see
at a given moment in time. Many images to express
such feelings in your poem.

William, unable to see some of the beauty one once saw, but "still" able to enjoy the beams of a full moon, and knowing, there is still hope in life regardless of the obstacles. The images in this are magnificent. I truly enjoyed this.

The soul of a Saguaro cactus, telling us of the solitude but also of the happenings around, the relentlessnes of a scorching sun, a breeze full of dust and the caresse of a full moon when the world at last go quite.
