The Red Sea Between Us |
And something has allowed me To get from there to here Some miracle of passage Some magic that has parted the sea Between us and carved a dry path From among the waves and formed A wall of water on my right And on my left And the power of Pharaoh behind me Is washed away and I Am has delivered me On this distant shore My old life fades from memory Like a dream that is only half-remembered And seems unreal and somehow Unattached from me as if I were born anew This very moment by Doug Tanoury This poem is © Copyright 2001 |

Doug Tanoury is primarily a poet of the Internet with the majority of his work never leaving electronic form. His verse can be read at electronic magazines and journals across the world.
The greatest influence on Doug's work was his 7th grade poetry anthology from Sister Debra's English class: Reflections On A Gift Of Watermelon Pickle And Other Modern Verse (Stephen Dunning, Edward Lueders and Hugh Smith, (c)1966 by Scott Foresman & Company) He still keeps a copy of it at his writing desk.
