A calm beyond


Soft as the massacre of Suns

By Evening’s Sabres slain


Emily Dickinson


Soon as dies the sunset glory,

Stars of heaven shine out above,

telling still the ancient story,

their Creators changeless love.

Jubilate! Jubilate! Jubilate! Amen!

Telling still the ancient story,

their Creators changeless love.


Samuel Longfellow


A Calm Beyond


When blows the gulf winds strong

Taking from the land the calm

We look beyond the tumult found

To the place of familiar ground


Where the river we know ever flows

Bringing peace to the Gulf of Mexico 

And we in calm known again pray

Heal the torn land beyond ole Suwannee.


John Clare Stokes


To golden days 

Suwannee

I would floor me if just once Johnny or some other writer would share what I’ve written, not what I’ve photographed sans the writing. All I ever get is beautiful.

That is fine. It would just be good if someone appreciated the words above the pictures.
