The gently tapered wings of swift lake swallows pass through the air like soft whispering sighs darting through clustered masses of mayflies hovering just inches above the shimmering lake that reflects the orange hue of the setting sun On a floating dock, worn in spots by thr rubbing of moored boats, I sit in a weathered adirondack with the pupose of only to relax to the rythmic rocking caused by small rolling waves from cruising pleasure boats, as friends wave while passing by Looking down through the clear jade tinted waters I notice the octagonal amber markings on a box turtle, seeming to amble rather than swim through the still water, passing without a care for anything but it's mysterious destination These moments pass fleetingly, but remain ingrained in my mind for when I feel the sides pressing in my escape is into these simple moments, where all the world requires is for you to sit back and enjoy without asking for anything in return |

Hi jbowie, This was a very nice trip I enjoed it. I wish we had turtles swiming around our lakes. And its nice you can bring such thoughts back to your mind and enjoy them. Thank you, Cerenity |

Thank you, that was lovely, very relaxing. The tragedy of it is that nobody sees the look of desperation on my face. Thousands and thousands of us, and we're passing one another without a look of recognition. |

OK - I'm relaxed now - I think I'll call in sick and tell them it's your fault..ya think??  pssssst...jbowie.... If that line is supposed to be broken after the comma - did you know you can go in and edit your own work here? |

Jim~ I'm with Nan ... let's all call in 'relaxed'. Wonderful, wonderful images you portrayed. 'These moments pass fleetingly' We need to make the time to enjoy them. Thanks for this wonderful presentation. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |
