Prologue

Anna Lee lives

in a shell in the sea

graced by the beauty

of blue fantasy.

She loves the peace

of the rhythmic waves.

Her beauty lies

in the capture of grace.

Chapter 1

Read these, my living

private thoughts, although

only a small portion

of me will they show.

Read these, understanding,

and you will see of me -

longings, dreams and passion,

images set free.

Read these, my poetry,

the wisdom of my thoughts,

but read no word without too,

dreaming as you ought.

This is my story,

my promise untold.

Bring me a message

and watch it unfold.

My life is empty

whenever I find

ruins of happiness

lost in my mind.

See, in me, a beholder,

a feeling unexplained,

wrapped in beauty waiting,

a portrait in a frame.

Cry with the helpless,

favor the meek,

I am the lonely heart you seek.

Follow me somewhere

over the breeze

sharing a lifetime full of dreams.

Go very gently,

come take my hand.

Feel with the rainbow

gracing the land.

Fly up to heaven

along with the dove;

listen so softly to rhythms of love.

Travel the sea

far into the wind.

Watch for the island

where angels go in.

Soar with the clouds,

oh, go with me there.

Follow me spirit

to heaven somewhere.

My emotions are lost

in a deep dark mist.

My tears are shed for sorrow.

I want to be needed,

to be cared for and loved.

but I’m just a lost soul

in an overlarge world

with no purpose

and no place to go.

Please show me
