***Seven Forty Sevened Ponds
 
  Incidental footprints of your journey
Mirrored olives, blues and strings of white
So many caught in busied travel delight
Olive-d peace in reflection-ed stills
Perfect illusions highlighted - capture
Your wanderings digitized ripples
Pastoral beauty applied to canvas
Floating above, sipping spirits refreshment
Cotton candied lateral landscapes flow
Contrails significant in their passing
Destinations unique for silver
Winged tube’s residential occupants
Mornings early shore prints reveal hoof prints
Over near the cattails a young deer drinks
In your journey… quenching a long nights thirst

(Mountaintop Pond, Tennessee
October 27,2006)

Selected for the 2008 Edition of the Literary Journal 'The Emancipator'.

Minds-Eye captivating, Debora....1 line less, an' u could 've made this a sonnet!
Just the same, though...this is magnificent work accomplished!

An exceptional work! Beautifully crafted. Those 'incidental footprints' so often remain as vivid memories from 30,000 feet. Thank you for sharing.
