York House Statues, Twickenham February 2008"Pearl of a Girl"
Found at the bottom of a tearful sea,
Her home for millions of years for me,
Her bed slowly frozen in time in this place,
She's never felt sure, She's never felt safe,
Until darkness glows with a vision so bold,
To take her away from here, away from this cold,
She moves with the flow, erosion in tow,
Waiting to go with the diver below,
He's been holding his heart and his deep cold breath,
To escape this hell, to escape this death,
Only salt and sand to hold her hand,
This is her world, this is her land,
Brought to the surface in a race with the fish,
We reach the air just in time for a kiss,
She's a pearl of a girl, She's been forming for me,
She's my pearl of a girl, She's been dreaming to be.

I don't want to take anything away from that - I thought it was a wonderful poem.

Jason, thanks for the comment. I use a Canon EOS 20D and nearly every photo is photoshopped to a greater or lesser extent. I usually sharpen them up, change the shading, sometimes apply filters - etc etc. I have no idea what I'm doing and don't take it seriously.
I work for the council BTW - at York House, but I've been off work for a long time following Myocarditis (heart failure).
Enjoy reading your blog. Wish you all the best. BTW - I think your poetry is very, very good.
Gosh those statues have played such a huge part in our lives, havent they?

That poem is simply lovely. Poignant, haunting, and beautiful. Quite beautiful.
