Visiting Earth on a Guest Pass

A fish jumps, thrashing
in the air, falls with a splash.
A startled bird flies,
circles down to land again
as my thoughts return to you.

Ed....So much can happen in a moment.  I like the way you related nature to a human connection...it concludes the poem in such a lovely way.

Come, and go
Give, and take
Lift, and return

You did that
with this.

Really awesome, Ed. A lot of thoughts
circled in my head while I was reading this. LOL

When you love someone enough, nothing can distract your thoughts from them for long. *S*

I like this very much, my friend... a striking look at nature... and human nature. *S* Excellent! *S*
