A very moving portrayal of life's journey showing everything is just ephemeral. Our life can be changed by fate or by our choices in life. Top Marks and to my favorites.

This magnificent poem transported me to various scenes; scenes that are poignant yet beautiful and a dream for a better tomorrow. A reader will never get tired going through this beautiful poem. So unforgettable.

What a beautiful poem adorned with crystalline images and touching poetic expressions. Line after line of beauty brought about by the wonders of nature tinged with sadness and a dream that uplifts one's soul.

Bri Edwards, I am sorry to hear that you sleep-walk--I have learned how to go to sleep sitting up on the couch--tis a wonderfully freeing experience And you don't risk jamming your toe into a chair leg! ! !

Indeed, Bill, we are each other's forever friend... met so many years ago over one of your first born poems... We've traveled many a rough sea together along with a number of happy successful days... let us make a pact to see many more years of poetry together---

Thank you, Denis, for liking this so much that you shared it with a good friend --I am so sorry to hear that your friend is facing death but am heartened that he faces it with courage and 'still blazes with creativity'.... may you deal well with his passing, my dear friend

Susan, I sent this poem link to the (to me) legendary independent filmmaker Antero Alli. He faces a terminal illness but still blazes with creativity. I'm pasting in his response to your poem.

OH, I loved the title to begin with, before reading the poem. ALSO, after reading it, though I HAD noticed commas or lack of them, I don't think I'd noticed ANY sentence-ending punctuation marks, AND THEIR ABSENCE CAUSED no PROBLEMS FOR ME, which is sometimes not the case in other poems. : )

Susan, I SO ENJOYED your poem, but my eyes already were tired, and NOW I may have to 'sleepwalk' to find my BED. Goodnight! ;) bri

Ahhh---I see you travel the high seas in a fancy sailboat----sigh... I am in a tiny rowboat that is missing its oars... I travel by Ocean Power to wherever the tide takes me--which is not all that different from traveling wherever the wind takes me...

(cont.) I have written some serious poetry & a lot of humorous poems also. In the Soothing-Poetry category, I doubt I could match you.

line 6 (6, COUNTING UPWARD FROM THE LAST LINE) : 'while the quiet, gentle, waves undulated lulling me to sleep' I'd remove the comma in front of 'waves' but I'd place commas after 'undulated' and after 'sleep'. Agree? ?
