5445 May to Remember 02 June 2006 As to a mourning star the light upon your eyes A soul warming with delight from this place of indemnity where you had escaped into the night Indebted to love petted with amour Thy beauty, thy ponderance this foundation laid forevermore Far off across this flat earth were heights to clamber were lower in feet They call it, Florida this amplification to greet Now understanding mist forever the sun of day From a land across the sea remember that happening come what may The highest point in the State of Florida, USA is found in Walton County at 105 metres (345 feet) above sea level. While the Florida Mountains and Cookes Range is located in Luna County, approximately 25 kilometres (15 miles) north of Deming, New Mexico, USA. Cookes Peak, with an elevation of 2560 metres (8,400 feet), rises over 1097 metres (3,600 feet) above the surrounding desert plains and dominates the landscape. Several ridges, rising above the surrounding terrain, form the backbone of Cookes Range, are dissected by deep canyons and secondary ridges that direct rainfall south into the Mimbres River. The area of the Cookes Range provides habitat for mule deer, black bear, mountain lion, bobcats, owls, whitetail kites, Montezuma quail, and Golden Eagles, several species of hawks, and Prairie Falcons use the higher ridges for nesting. © 2006 Christopher W Herbert (a New Zealand Poet) a poet who cares |
