55 - A prayer to a lighthouse


Tell me
how does it look
from up where you are
standing tall
seeing all
(I feel so small)

What do you see?
Do you see me?
Where the sky meets the sea
is that where I'll be?

Where does it start?
How will it end?
Would you tell me, please?
Will I ever mend?

  12. I seem to have wandered into something :-) I'm not sure what a 55 is, but I was doing what I often do on a Sunday afternoon, clicking through the commenters on the blogs I read, going new places to read new people.

    The picture of the Lighthouse caught me. There is something about them that conveys adventure with safety. That no matter how far from home we venture, there is something calling us back to firm ground, and security. Maybe we're all reincarnated, and remember catching that longed for glimpse while out at seas, calling us home.

    So I saw the Lighthouse and read several of your posts. I'm not sure what a 55 is, but I'm sure you did it quite well. I also enjoyed your post about being naked in public. That's part of the reason we bought a house with a pool. I love to swim, but I'm less fond of swimming with oceans of humanity. I associate swimming with peace.

  13. Land of shimp: Thank you so much for stopping by and for your nice comments! :) I am kind of new in this blogosphere world but what I love the most is going new places and reading new people. I have read your comments before on a whole bunch of sites and I am truly honored to now have you reading something that I wrote...
    I love that lighthouse in the picture, and lighthouses in general. I love how a lighthouse can be a symbol of a lot of things; home, faith, hope, guidance, God...
    A 55 is to write something, a story or a poem, using exactly 55 words.
    Peace and love/ Jo.
