Silence of the Deep! By L. Don Oliver

A gentle refreshing sea breeze, Waves splashing upon the shore; Seabirds soaring above me; A beautiful new world to explore;

In the shadows of my soul, The world above me asleep; Slipping slowly beneath the waves, Into the silence of the deep;

Serenity of quite solitude, Rainbow creatures swimming by; Lovely flowering coral reefs, One is thankful to be alive;

Where there's rhyme and reason, No imperative schedule to keep; Controlling my own destiny, In the silence of the deep;

Bubbles from a fissure below, Up through the darkened steep; At peace with the world, In the silence of the deep;

When life has passed me by, Broken dreams never to mend; Things that I once enjoyed, Ever winding down to end;

If to die upon the morrow, With a promise to ever sleep; I pray thee my final rest, In the silence of the deep;

The following poem is based on The Ten Commandments. The best moral guide ever. It is intended as an addition to the Ten Commandments and not as a replacement. I worded it so as not to offend anyone. With the continous argument between Church and State (The Word "God"), this nation's morals are being destroyed. Faith is between an individual and their God and can never be a collective belief!

THE BEST WAY TO DESTROY A MORAL SOCIETY IS TO DESTROY THAT SOCIETY'S MORALS!

The Ten Morals: By L. Don Oliver

It is morally right to have, Faith for what you believe; It is morally wrong to worship, What others contrive to deceive;

It is morally wrong to assail others, Even the words we speak; It is morally right to rest, On one day of each week;

It is morally right to honor parents, Even if there should be strife; It is morally wrong and illegal, To take another person's life;

It is morally right to be honest, To the one you're committed to; It s morally wrong and illegal to take, That which doesn't belong to you;

It is morally wrong to utter untruths, For many it can lead to distress; It is morally wrong to be jealous, Of what others may possess;

I've aways lived by the "Golden Moral", Of everything that I perceive To always do for others, What I wish them to do for me;

The Unfinished Painting! By L. Don Oliver

I have walked this lonely land, Without a song in my heart; Still I see your lovely face, Even though we are miles apart;

I have sailed the seven seas, Never to speak your name out loud; Still I see your lovely face; In every wind blown cloud;

I have climbed the highest mountain, Up where only eagles dare; Still I see your lovely face, But no one seems to care;

In all my hopes and dreams, Wishing you were here by me; My foolish dream of Peace on Earth, Is a portrait that I will never see;
