I was alone in the mist surrounded by the tints and hues of the awakening day it was as intense an experience as irrational emotions erupting geese flew overhead in a targeted direction barn swallows cut the cool air and lightly skimmed the ponds such writing had surely become a life and most of what was faulty now I see things in light color and composition of the surroundings the way I understand people the web of sustenance we set camp that evening near an aquifer area called “The Tulley” where hung laced Musci in intimidating webs like strands within the thin clouds serenading warm sunsets blended together to give away a soft sensual feeling to the river and surrounding dale we didn’t have to hike very far at all to ponds called Story Hallows on the backlash of Sawtooth territory where we set up camp near a quiet stream that evening we were introduced to backlogged thunders coming through and as they broke up this awesome quickened light furtive glance as if the first glimpse or appearance created in a spectacular warmth over the distance covered mush rooms mountain showering a lush green eyed fauna while cascading over the South Fork of delectable spring near paradise valley on eastern lawns. But if winter, icy hoarfrost and only Neverlands. If I could paint a portrait, of this life in which I've led, and somehow sketch a story, of the visions in my head, I'd start out with a canvas, stretched tightly in a frame, and in the bottom corner, I'd leave room to sign my name.

Lucky, I enjoyed hearing (I say "hearing" because this piece ~ as do most of yours ~ has more of a conversational voice) about your observations. "surrounded by the tints and hues of the awakening day" Quite lovely, all through. ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

Ah, my sweetheart, I enjoyed this one much! We've both had rather a dry spell, and it's marvelous when those creative juices begin flowing again, isn't it! I love it when your poems take me on journeys of beauty! |

Sudhir_I don't know what to say..! thank you my friend. tracie66_Nice to see you, thanks Meadowmuse_Hi Claire, always nice to hear you, hope everything is well with you. Rosemary my sweet, I enjoy you so very much. Martie_I don't feel so lucky... I'm taken to a place that I have not traveled in many eons shown monutain vistas of great mounds of junk. I don't know how my parents ever moved with us kids and all their treasures. I'm still around, just rather busy but you can be sure I'd rather be writing... Love and prayers, Dale Thank you all so much... lucky |
