When one drifts with the wind,
There's no telling -
How many people
One will touch,
Before -
They find themselves.
***
In the World today
Everywhere you look -
The air is charged
with emotions.
It is crucial then,
A sense of understanding -
Take its place
Amid the tears
And the
Heartbreak.
***
You have a way
of making words
sound like music.
Like gentle waves,
Lapping on a moonlit shore.

About Me
- Eric Valentine
- I have been a bit of a World traveler. I was born in England and at age 32 moved to Canada. More recently this last few years I have come down with a debilitating illness that although it has no cure it can be managed sensibly. My interests now are my lovely wife Elizabeth, nature and music. I love writing at which I am always working on improving.

Sangilak
He burst forth from the past to now
Fiercely proud, strong, erect.
His torso adorned and glowing still,
Remnants of the days of battle royal,
The figures, depicting scars from days of old.
I first saw him standing there -
Covered it seemed in a hue of snow?
On his chest emblazoned in red,
“Is that a red maple leaf I see,
Or some such facsimile ?”
I said astounded! ~ hesitantly, ~
“You are Canadian ~ aren’t you”

Wow Eric! These are wonderful - particularly that last verse - it flows gently just like those waves "lapping on a moonlit shore".

Beautiful Eric! Dare I ask: After reading the last verse, I thought you might be writing this to Elizabeth.

Hi Leon, you are more than welcome my friend, things look good over there.
You may well be right about the last verse & Elizabeth. She has a way of inspiring me when I struggle at times. :)
oh wow, Eric. I thought the first was my favorite but then, after reading each part, I love them all.
Newnorth, thanks for your kind thoughts.
I'm glad you enjoyed them so much. Enjoy your weekend my friend. :)
True words - although I bet our perception of emotions may not be as keen as it was centuries ago, but we communicate it further with the aid of technology.
Technology does have its uses Isadora, so I couldn't agree more. :)
Thank you for your visit here. :)
I loved those last lines..!
My love to Elez..!!
