(Pondering "Destiny" by J W Waterhouse 1900)
Christ -- faith's Morning Star
steadfast compass ... Grace ajar
wild breeze intrudes
Canvas dreams unfurl
hope meanders, twists and whirls
crest each glistening swell
Tugs at each line cast
Mercy -- deep and ever vast
love lapping beneath
A rocking embrace
yet, hoist anchor -- leave no trace
barnacles encrust
Sloops are made to said
risks are great -- sirens do wail
shipwreck and plunder
Still -- do not borrow
Misguided sailor's sorrow
White Shores do await
Spray and mist, sublime
whisper winds and beckon time
I set sail, my love
_______
My dear friend Tara was kind enough to share some of her poetry with others. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. You may want to look at the Waterhouse painting that inspired the poem. I'm left with much hope that white shores await us all who submit to the calling on our lives.
Please post your thoughts and share.

"Paul's just gone to sleep," she said. "I won't wake him up." There was anger in her voice, real aggression.

"It's alkright, Tiffany Braceletmy dear," RuthTiffany Earrings said. She was nearly Tiffany ringsseventy, with fine Tiffany jewellerswhite hair, carefully Tiffany jewelrystyled.

"Seven poundsWholesale Jewelry exactly," Sally said. "Kay Wholesale fashion jewelrylooks wonderful. The Wholesale costume jewelrybaby's beautiful. They named her Elizabeth, after her grand-mother. They say it was an easy labor."
There was a silence, then, as everyone realized what had hap-pened. Norah felt as if the quiet were expanding from some place in the center of her, rippling through the room. Sally looked up, flushed pink with regret.
"Oh," she said. "Oh, Norah. I'm so sorry."
Norah wanted to speak and set things in motion again. The right words hovered in her mind, but she could not seem to find her voice. She sat silently, and the silence became a lake, an ocean, where they all might drown.
"Well," Ruth said briskly, at last. "Bless your heart, Norah. You must be exhausted." She pulled out a bulky package, brightly wrapped, with a cluster of narrow ribbons in tight curls. "We took up a collection, thinking you probably had all the diaper pins a mother could want."

Flora flushed and glanced around the room for help. Ruth took Norah's hand and pressed it hard. Norah felt the smooth skin, the surprising pressure of her fingers. David had told her the names of these bones once, but she could not remember them. Worse, she was crying.
