 It was an innocent trip on the Internet Aimless wandering in the night Searching for a bit of muse To end my writer’s blight This photo touched a chord in me A lonely landscape far away A land unknown to poet’s muse What tug did this photo betray? I could walk alone in this dawn Listening to the crickets trill Wistful thoughts of someone Takes away the morning chill I might as well be in Latvia In the day’s golden sunrise It’s as close as I’ll ever come To see the passion in your eyes |

Ahhhhhh, the picture suits your sentiments well. Made me think of all the places I dream of going but will most likely never see. Very nice~ |

And it really is Latvia! I've got some great photos of the place.  |

Sharon, I like this. It has a wishful feel to it....  "Love makes the world go around" |

Latvia huh? Maybe there is a man just waiting there for your poetry and passion. Ask the crickets, they always know what's happening. At least Jiminy was always on top of things. |

The title alone made me read this, and I'm rather glad I did |

A fire midst a gypsy camp? A tree bursting in flames? The sun burns through the haze and we must believe that love will find a way. Enjoyed |

Our muse likely resides within rather than without - I expect yours is there in your heart - Given the chance to speak - as it has here so well ... I'd be willing to wager, too, that there are some equally enticing pictures closerby if one were to seek them out... Arizona is a beautiful place for a sunrise, yes?

Thank you all for your kind words! It's interesting where we get our inspiration isn't it. For some it's music. I've lately started looking at landscapes for mine. Thank you for reading! |

This is a fine one Sharon, inspiration is wherever you find it. Say, I saw a hawk eat a snake the other day, I wonder if I can pull something out of that . . .?? |

ah..distance comes in more than one form..seems sometimes no matter how close we are physically the gulf between is vast... here is to hoping that if you might as well be in Latvia..then the one whose eyes you would like to see is there with you. |
