in my middle and old age
my heart found the way
in the midst of a grand old swamp
where . . .
finally I put down roots
and, if my inner self moves me to
I wander alone
amid the cypress trees
such beauty
and all for me to see
on the bank of
Bayou Lafourche
I sit and watch the water's
meandering current move steadily on
maybe see an old bull gator's
eyes scoping me just above the water
rest of him hid
I'm the trespasser
so happy I found this place
and it invited me to stay

I know. I'm dark and dreary. Sorry, Lori. I'll try to do better.

I have never been to Louisiana but it seems very nice through your eyes, Jerry.
