a quiet storm swept from aloft
and abruptly 'round all silent went
as moon leapt through diffusing lilt
allowed the light again to touch

my skin while zephyr
cleansed the
calm but
inside
wakened
broken dawn
frozen in the flaking

throng and creeping down yon
empty drive regretful haze no larger

than an osprey's prey on distant land far
in candid skies like these everything is so
far it seems as yesterday's all become
specks in a blurry distance

Dale, my dear friend, it is so good to see you!!!  You always see so far with your words, to the place where I see with you.  This is a wonderful look at your place.
