I watch the sun set

In a brilliant blaze

Under a sky of stars

I get lost in their haze

Twilight engulfs

My most secret thoughts

As golden rays bury

My mind, distraught

I am captivated

By glorious, rays of light

That take me from morn

Into the night

While I sit here and wonder

What is to be?

When my eyes finally close

What is it I’ll see?

Will my time on this Earth

Be nearer the end?

Or will I still see the light

As thoughts transcend

Higher, like the swing

Which knows no bounds

I fly, for I am no longer

Planted, on the ground

A silhouette against the sun
The wind takes over sails
As pirates slumber in the night
In hopes, the wind won’t fail

Lest they be forever adrift
In a sea, oft unforgiving
Battering waves, tossed about
Yet, it’s how they go on living

The life they choose, no matter
What others, of them, may think
They’ll stash abundant treasure
As they watch the others sink

Into the deepest oceans
Lost, in a battle of greed
Thirsty for blood, they conquer
No matter how much you plead

They take it all, there’s nothing left
Your ship, lay barren and wasted
And you cling to life, but lose the fight
Your own blood, you now have tasted

Cardinal’s warble

Sings of a joyous springtime

With trees in full bloom

UPDATE:  The person who tagged my blog has removed the link back and the problem has been solved (I hope).

HELP!

I decided to look at my site today on my desktop computer and discovered another site that had linked back to mine has plopped a photo of a lighthouse on EVERY FREAKING PAGE!!!  This is only visible on a desktop or laptop.  It doesn’t show on the phone or the WP App.

The photo is not in my media so I can’t delete it.  There is no code visible to me in the editor. I am so pissed right now!!

I unapproved the link back, but nothing changed because it’s still linked on their page.  I messaged them but have not heard back.  I also contacted our lovely Happiness Engineers, and haven’t heard from them as of yet

Is there a way to block a site from mine?  I did it once before from the App but I don’t see it anymore.
