     Forest Lake

soft clouds drifting in
a bright, tall sky...

bird-shadow pathways
through the daydreaming
  hills…

moonlight penetrating
midnight ripples...
(to fathom–dance
with the spirits of
these ancient waters)

here, Natures leaves
the mind without motion;
the heart beyond
all vanity, arrogance,
  and contempt;
the spirit set free...
to touch the Universe.

"bird-shadow pathways
through the daydreaming
  hills"
This winged its way into my psyche!

Yo Secondhanddreampoet,

Is this about Eagles Mere.  God bless us I even miss the place, after working there so many years ago.  The place of my first real love, she was too old for me, but she was kind.

I was one of "The Young Ones".
