“Be still, and you shall hear the distant thunder of yet a storm unknown.
Quietly watch, and you shall see the shadows fall from footprints across the sky.
And rejoice within your heart as the Gardener of the Earth, Planter of your soul returns,
for long were the days of rootless weeds starving the Life from His planted garden.
And bitter was the darkness that befell the bloomless rose.
Only after this earth has been bathed in its holy baptism
shall it become the glorious garden it was truly meant to be.” excerpts from The Prophet’s Candle by Daniel

Sharon…Your poem is just perfect for the photograph. The gray and roiling clouds are so dramatic. They enhance the power of the stormy churning waters. You have really created a mood here and yet the beauty is not to be overlooked. Perhaps it is my knowledge of the Hawaiian waters that makes me relate so well to this but…no matter…it is a beautiful photograph.
Aloha, liz
