Snow dusted treetops line the path to Eagles Mere. Enchantment resides in every frosted leaf, honoring Gaia’s seasonal changes in resplendent beauty. Mere human endeavors (even Taj Majal) pale by comparison to nature’s bounteous gifts. Though no eagles soared before our eyes today, a lone hawk resting atop a stately pine welcomed us to this peaceful paradise. Our feet ached to wander the lake-shores; brooding storm clouds draping the hills warned this was not the day for a casual stroll. Reluctantly, we headed down the hill, again enveloped by Autumn golds and rust tipped in purest white. November can be beautiful beyond words.

Another glorious splash for the November book I spoke of (in a response to one of Bruce's poems) in which your and Bruce's poems should feature prominently. - Owl |

And can you scent the sweet and frosty breath of Winter. Mingling with the scent of pine? And frosted winter days brilliant beyond words with Sun, and blue and frigid winter nights improbably bright with stars, in skies where the North Lights may even dance. I want to go flying with eagles. Hello, is there someone named Midnitesun out there? Midnitesun a stranger? No! Hello o o o o o o o o o? Midnitesun un un un un un un ...

It is such fun to read and re-read this poem and Bruce's, a visit in two voices, a poetry duet. Images and moments sublimely captured, to be treasured forever. Thank you for inviting readers along on your journey to this very special place. |
