"Forevermore" is a poem about a couple in love taking a prom picture on the beach. "Connected" is about sitting by the gulf shore in the dark reflecting on life. " One As I" is about searching for the perfect shell. "Magenta Skies" tells of walking the gulf shore at sunset and late into the evening.
Lyrics
Forevermore
Two silhouettes poised
against hazy aqua hues
wrists of flowers
pink chiffon
and baby blues
black tuxedo
statuesque in design
treasured memories captured
now and for all time
hands clasped
tightly holding
never ending love unfolding
shimmering sun dances
just off shore
snapshot of a moment
forevermore

Connected
I see a star twinkle
in the jet black winter sky
it reminds me we're connected
you and I
streaking through the universe
in many shapes and forms
we are cosmic dust
created to be born
patterns by billions
yet
somehow the same
staring out
riding through
wondering...
how we came
Theresa Loder
One As I
I searched the shore
for a perfect shell
not scaled, cracked or broken
would be a find
for anyone
to cherish as a token
I spotted one
full of holes
with crusty pitted edges
appearing to have fallen off
a reef with jagged ledges
I picked it up
for a closer look
there etched inside
a tiny nook
initials from it's charted past
tumbling to the shore at last
finding safety
of a home
to lay upon the sand
till one as I
would pick it up
and hold it in my hand
Theresa Loder
Magenta Skies
Have you ever seen a sunset
light up magenta skies
and shadows...
weaving ribbons
in the early morning rise
where sea oats find there rhythm
and coquinas dot the sand
to walk along the seashore
where great Blue Heron land
felt the rush of sea spray
splash upon your face
if only for a moment
transcending time and space
I've walked along the seashore
beneath magenta skies
'long azure blue Gulf waters
till the early morning rise
beckoned to the water's edge
by something we can't see
seasons come , seasons go
and still a curiosity
stillness of the shore
bathed in moon light's gleam
souls long for tranquility
found in nature's dream
