Faces of the Sea

Once upon a midnight blue

I sailed a sea of green

A more gorgeous sunrise

My eyes have never seen

Once upon a night so dark

The sea now ebony

And that perfect sunrise

Is just a memory

Visualize this thing you want. See it, feel it, believe in it. Make your mental blueprint and begin.

You may tell yourself, "I can't do that".  You see many times we are our own biggest road block. What if no one likes my work?  Does it matter?  Who are you really trying to please? Answer these questions and then do what makes you happy!
