DOWN BY THE SEA
Feb 2, 2009
O take me down by the sea
That's where my new home will be
Oceans will rise, rivers flow with the tide
Bringing your love back to me
Laying afloat by the shore
Watching the waves kiss the sand
All through the night
Rivers meeting the tide
Gently caressing the sea
On through the storms I will pass
Rocked by the waves in my trail
My ship will roam through the tempest unscathed
Back to your shores it will sail
O take me back to my home
My abode by the ocean floor
Waves that will rise, sweep me in with the tide
Carry you to me once more

A WINTER NIGHT
Feb 2, 2009
As darkness of the night descends
Upon the town
Where life has left
And through the stillness of the night
No moving soul
No one in sight
The wretched wind that howls and chills
The lonesome tree, its branches trill
A snow drift passes on the trail
And flickers by my window pane
And as I stare into the night
I see no life
No soul in sight
I dream to see another day
And that the sun will find its way

Vacations (an excerpt)
Dec 4, 2007
Our biggest family trips would take place in the summer when we would travel to Piarnu, Estonia, which was located on the coast of the Baltic Sea. Piarnu had some of the most picturesque beaches that I had seen with the crystal clear water washing against the bright yellow sand on the shore. Similarly, the Laurentian mountains in Quebec in December gave an idyllic view of winter paradise where the gently falling light snow caressed and enveloped the pine trees before falling and rolling on the steep covered hills. The Smoky mountains in Tennessee in the middle of October, captivated the traveler with the natural beauty that only comes during the transient fall season, with the myriad of colors taking your breath away as you ride up the high rolling hills. As a contrast to the pristine and pastoral surroundings of Piarnu, the Laurentian mountains and the Smoky mountains in Tennessee, the hot summer nights in the Montreal provided a carnival like atmosphere with the sounds of live jazz, ethnic and rock music charging up the streets of this great cosmopolitan city. The streets in Montreal were bustling with the sight and sounds of thousands of revelers, of all ages basking in carefree abandon to the pulsating sounds of live music.
