Oh I wish to spend forever here
with moist green mossy setting near
To smell the freshness of the glade
awash with mingled sunlight the shade
Far from the heat of bitumen road
consumed in the endless stream I abode
Watched the waters fluent stream
and smiling inside , this was a dream
Its awesome presence held me well
such a shame to rise and then only dwell
Upon a place so picturesque
it needs to be hidden and forever rest
Forever rest in its own completeness
So,.... I stole just a hint of its fine BEAUTY,... magic and THEN left
This and most other work has been taken using a LUMIX 28MM Panosonic DMCTZ11 wide angle , Compact camera….still learning…, me that is…the camera is doing well.
Hope you enjoy the take.
