When last I saw you, the dappled light of an Alaskan summer danced in the willows and playfully hid you from view of wayward hunters. I waved my final goodbye, and wished you both long life, in many more seasons, winter to spring. My twin adopted moose, Moosatchie and Willow; you roam the quiet woods of my heart even as I write this poem to you, from me...hiding in the dark of a Rockies night, dreaming upon the stars and missing my rainbow of dancing lights, and you two. |

Baffled Ed? Your woodlore poem triggered this one, indirectly. Ratleader, smiling at you. You're quite welcome. |

 (smiles) Awwwwwww, I wish I could adopt a wild animal like that, I love animals so much and I too accept them as friends to my heart always, no matter what species or how big or small! (kiss on cheek) I'm sure they miss you too but will always remember you, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kacy, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

I am still chuckling! I knew what you meant by thanking Wranx, but I wondered if there might be other readers who had not read his poem and might have been a bit confused! ooops I'm chuckling again! Wranx's replies cracked me up again! What a uniquely wonderful experience and opportunity you had! You now have this lovely poem to remind you of that special time. I love how you are out there saving the forests, the underprivileged, the animals... Kacy, you truly are an angel among us. Warm hugs and an appreciative smile, Linda |
