 I sit alone at water’s edge Ducks surround the dock’s ledge They quack and play on it’s wooden sheet None of them seem to miss a beat They hungrily drink of the river’s blood Without fear of famine or flood A little brown duck swims up to me Just to get a closer see Curiously watching as I write His little heart knows no fright On he swims with the current I was only a momentary deterrent Children laugh and talk on the trail As they are shrouded by nature’s veil No harm shall come their way Here on this peaceful glorious day They all still have some time In which to reach their intended prime The sun softly mirror’s the sky Reflecting in the river’s eye I sit here silently and smile Knowing this river goes on for miles It brings peace to all who see The beauty spread here before me All writing comes by the grace of God. -Ralph Waldo Emerson [This message has been edited by Lone Wolf (edited 09-21-2001).] |

Every season it is grand... as the tides withdraw the sand.. docile, then in summer's sun shimmering of things undone... and in the fall we've yet beget it's seasoning of life's regret... and now a winter's icycle... memories of sweet trickle. Love to "J" haven't forgotten you!  and? ty for the inspiration! |

This is serenely beautiful....I love to be near the water. (I can't see the graphic, it showed up as an X on my computer. What was it?) Anyway, well done Lone Wolf.  God bless America, my home sweet home. |

Geesh..Where have you been? This is wonderful work you have here! Nothing like sitting quietly watching all thats going on around us..pen in hand..ready to capture it all. I've been missing your writing. Meant to tell ya that your picture isn't coming up.Maybe its just my computer. Sometimes the heart needs the solace of solitude and silence.

Floating ducks, playing children, poets writing amidst it all. Much has changed... much hasn't. Enjoyed this deeply. |

Oh, what a lovely view you have there. Enjoyed this very much. If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |
