The North Carolina Outer Banks (OBX) at Duck — Images by kenne
The Outer Banks, North Carolina
Divide the ocean and the bay
Inviting, is this string of islands
Vacationers to come and play
Two hundred miles of pristine beaches
As far as any eye can see
Morning brings the perfect sunrise
On this land along the sea
The light house on Cape Hatteras
Guided many ships at night
The beaches outside Kitty Hawk
Saw the very first manned flight
The home to herds of feral ponies
Where the pirate Blackbeard died
English settled long ago
Still to this day they do reside
The climate always feels like summer
All along this eastern shore
Once you stop here for a visit
We know that you’ll come back for more
by Jack Ivey

Revisiting The Outer Banks Of North Carolina — To Make Soft . . . Leave a comment
Beach along the Outer Banks of North Carolina (April 2008) — Images by kenne
Joy braving the wind and cold temperatures.
To Make Soft . . .
Words,
words are nothing
Feelings,
feelings are everything
Struggling,
struggling to share feelings
Placing,
placing petitions of desire
Door,
to the door of your heart
Shut,
shut not the door
Love,
love will break the heart
Scorn,
scorn not what we do
Looking,
looking for peace of mind
Truth,
truth will set us free
Explaining,
explaining not what is real
Complicated,
to complicated to follow
Knowing,
knowing not our time to go
Lifetime,
lifetime is no time at all
This is a poem I wrote five years ago when we were on the Outer Banks of North Carolina (April, 2008). In a few weeks we will return for another brief visit and in Virginia — hopeful the weather will be better.
