You are a contended and happy man Bob. You have packed this poem with picturesque images and your love of nature shines through. Things you see, many others cannot, and this is your gift, to perceive harmony and beauty and relate it to others in a magnificent poem like this. 10 Karin Anderson

This is the way to achieve a better way of life. Relax be still, no thoughts of what life was, or wanting feelings for a future happy life.

A wonderful nature poem with beautiful word painting &apt use of Onamatopoeia.
Such intimate writing-though I live thousands of miles away, I felt like I was right there with you having a conversation. Excellent work.
This is a beautiful reflection Bob. A piece describing the beauty which makes for true peace. As you bring out it is really free and for the taking to those who see. Thank you for an unforgettable scene amid a land that otherwise we, most of us at least, would never experience. Best wishes Fay.
You have found a beauteous peace within yourself allowing you the freedom to see the value of all about and, through this work, shared. Real life is indeed free but there shall always be a bill presented after lunch.
Bob this is a wonderful poem. There is so much said here that I will read it again and again lest I missed something the first time around. Ron
