My Sponge my heart
If my heart were a sponge it would be filled with joyous thoughts and dreams from people from around the world.
If my heart were a rock it would protect those who have trusted me with their thought until the day I died.
I my thoughts could see past these thoughts of being a simple heart or sponge, I could see that my thoughts are true.
If my thoughts are true and my beliefs are, and I am like a heart and a sponge, i mean that I learn and understand more each day.
If I mean more each day; it would mean that those who have shown me the ways of my heart; and the likeness to a sponge are similar to that of a rock
If I am a rock then I must protect all which has been placed within it day by day, from being broken like a stone, and to grow more like a heart.
If you can understand as to your station either a heart, a rock, or a sponge, you will see how you need to grow.
If you can’t understand this. You need to seek help from someone who loves you like a rock, feels you like a heart and shows what it is to become a sponge.
A sponge teaches the rock to see the heart within.
The heart teaches us how to see how porous the rock may be.
The person shows us how to bring these things together, to show us compassion, love, truth, and most of all the feeling that lies within us all, and to become a greater part of each.
God said “let me be your rock, your heart and like a sponge you will learn the truth of the light which lives within you. I am the father, the son, and the spirit to guide you.
I am his rock and his heart, and his sponge so that he may share with me his wisdom. I fail no man; I simply fail myself if I don’t see his truth and understand his message to us all.

Hey Mary,
Thanks for writing. I miss you girl. LOL!! Not that I don't see you all the time. My friend submitted another one of his poems. It is absolutely beautiful. I can see the things that he is seeing in my minds eye. He goes into detail about what he is seeing and that is what makes them so good. Thank you for the comments on my photos.

If it was a water frog it would be. That is a little tree frog i think. There is plenty of room out here for him. I let a big bull frog loose this summer that my boyfriend got from someone he works with. I bet he is really happy in the pond with the rest of the bullfrogs. I love to listen to them at night. It's kind of a lonely sound though. Still I love it. Thanks for the comment.
Your Friend

The Harbour
On a cold day when summer is fragile to each new approach of the cold colour of grey.
I walked to the shore to listen to the water in its struggle between the rocks and sand.
To walk out on the docks where ships from all countries have come to bring their trade.
To view the sight which has been there unchanged since days when no man had seen or looked.
The scent of the water with the salt from the seaweed at low tide fills the air.
The sands of the beach, which seems in winter to just simply disappear.
The life you can see while the water chases the moon, crabs, mussel, and periwinkles many more just in and out of the moonlight sky.
If you look closely through the water you can see stars not as you expect from space.
The closer you look, deeper down to a place where you can see little fish swimming.
If you look up for a moment you’ll catch sight of some great sails of some ship leaving.
Listen closely; in the distance you may hear the sounds of the birds flittering about.
At night and wondrous things you per chance may see with light seemingly below.
Phosphorescence filling the waves making waves turn to a green from little creatures.
During Harvest moon from the east over the ocean is truly a treat for the eyes.
Such wondrous thing this gift we have called sight which fills our minds with pleasure.
But these are all gifts of light from deep within your soul given from above to cherish and see what is found across the land.
To those who don’t have this gift of sight or had it taken away at some age.
These words are for you each and every one is all I will say.
Enjoy this harbour built for you on this day to look to your own light from within.
Fear not the darkness before you but build sight from the words you can find.
This is your harbour built with love care and hope for my Brother man to hear.
Those who can see are quite often so blind to what matters of their fellow man.
Take hope in belief take flight with words take time to enjoy each written word.

It's really nice to see these words you write. Their always a joy to read. You can put images in peoples minds and make them see what you are seeing, and feel what you are feeling. You have such a wonderful gift, keep writing these words of wonder. They seem to take away all worries, for the moment. I think everyone should see things this way, and the world would be a better place.
Thank You so much
Your Friend
Annette

I try and show people through all my work, wether Photography Poetry or Paintings. I really wanted to find a way to make it so that if someone read one of my pieces to someone without vision; that they would be able to see through their minds eye. Some would never have seen in their lives but they have their own thoughts on what colours look like. So I wanted to help these people feel what was in something which could as well be a painting. I am glad you like it.

When you look across a moment in the best time of your life.
To see something that strikes you as such beauty that it takes your breath.
I wonder if at that moment. If asked to describe what you saw, how would it be done?
Do you describe the colours of each thing you see? Maybe I need more depth. If you have a moment of your so precious time, I would try and change the way you see the world.
The scene: a graveyard of lost men who fought in a war that no one wanted but they answered the call.
An Arch in the foreground surrounded by a wrought iron fence and a gate leading in.
The scene. A slight hill with old rich coloured Sandstone changed by the acid falling upon its surface day after day, year after year.
There is a building to the right of the arch composed of the same stone but with a newer cleaned look sometime in the last twenty years.
There is a blue sky and it is late September on the East coast of Canada with the sun at an angle when it shines’s in your eyes.
There is a fence at the breast of the hill separating the buildings property from the graveyard.
As the sun casts it’s shadow on the stones black with age with some people walking through on the different paths.
The statue has carvings, which are so defined as that it leaves you with the impression that they were given the utmost care in each detail.
The carving on the top, with the stance of pride, or ruler of all who come through these gates!
In the background there are these beautiful trees standing guard over the secrets and keeping those at rest protection from any storm.
But through this strength, allowing the gentle flow of light through the branches and lighting the path’s found below.
Like watching fireflies on a hot summer’s night frozen in flight for a moment for us to see.
And the colour of the trees showing greys with a slight touch of Brown on the sunny side of each, with a thin line of gold reflection from the light bouncing off the bark.
In all this time the sun had progressed through the trees towards the lion that stood guard on the Arch. Then for a moment when the sun reached that critical moment on that day.
It looked like there was a golden light emitting from the Lions protective stance.
It was then that I realized, that he was protecting those who protected us all in some war in some country where each one finally had to fall.
I hope that these words paint a picture in your mind.
For these were the soldiers, Our Brother’s, our Friend’s.
And for that moment when you can see that moment in time.
Remember that they died for us and our freedom and our children everywhere today.
I guess what I would say to those who remember is that, when November rolls around each year show that you care and buy a poppy from your local legion

Thank you. I wanted it to let people see what I saw, and the best way to do something like this is through detail. and your heart. I am so glad you understood it and could see the paining I wanted to be seen in my words.

You are most welcome. I usually add them if I find them something I like allot. And I simply comment on some I simply like or that I find I could suggest something to achieve some look which might interwest the photographer or Artist. I do oil paintings as well so I am used to some of the tricks used to achieve some things. But it is all a learning process which I never like to interfer with as the fun of this artistic viewpoint of each is the absolute ly best thing for anyone who has a passion for this, as they feel great accomplishment when the achieve something spectacular to see.
