The tides roar in to meet the shore and crash the rocks to sand
I’ve never actually seen it happen but I try to understand
There has been hail the size of golf balls and snow in the summer sun
I do not really know the reason for it or how it all begun
I saw the beauty of the northern lights and the arctic sights so rare
I’ve really wondered at natures beauty so much it has to share
The delicate arc of a rainbow, the foggy mist of Niagara Falls
I have heard the coyote sing beneath a silver moon his lonesome calls
I have seen a lot in this old world and each one was a special treat
But your eyes smiling up at me was what knocked me off my feet.

Sure glad that you made it clear what you were writing about. There is really nothing that can compare with the smile of a baby. A smile can make your heart race, your legs turn rubbery and most of all it can make you smile back at them. Great. Karen
My dear friend, this is beautiful..
I love the ending...of all the incredible wonders of the
world you have seen that smile did it for you.
Awesome write!!
If you tend to believe romantic, passionate, masculine poetry is a thing of past eras, read "She Intrigues Me," and be swept away in the beautiful craft of a contemporary poet of love.
The songs and art in this book are about our collective emergence after the pandemic and trauma of the last few years - comprised of 5 collections: World as Refuge, Where We Live, In Our Hands, Rhythms of Change and What We See & Sow.
