Nature's Daughter Blue moon black water bold and beautiful nature's daughter echo's through slick conch tunnels wall clouds spew their dancing funnels riders surf the mighty roar twelve foot waves crash on shore dunes amass in giant piles along the shore for miles and miles tangerine sun and aqua skies weave ribbons in the mornin' rise Theresa Loder Splendor I can barely see the sails drifting on the sea the setting sun and shadows are hiding them from me off shore I see a beacon a tiny point of light to let me know your out there and guide you through the night a haze salutes the morning gently lifting to the sky and there you sit in splendor a vision to the eye Theresa Loder Journey In a picture of a sunset on the ocean's foamy shore you can't inhale misty salt spray or hear the waves roar you can't hear the wind as it swishes through the pines or feel the sand beneath your feet or smell the seaweed vines you must take the journey experience nature's awe see and feel God's creations designed without a flaw Theresa Loder On Ships That Sleep What treasures lie beneath the sea on ships of old locked with a key sometimes a glint of what's been lost will wash ashore then be tossed back into the briny deep where a secrets kept on ships that sleep if we could know from those who'd tell we'd wish them well we'd wish them well on ships that sleep they'd be the hosts on ships that sleep we'd call them ghosts but their secrets kept of all that's lost their secrets kept at any cost if and maybe they would tell we'd wish them well we'd wish them well Theresa Loder
