crisscrossing glowing ripples
an otter plays with the light—
there is no loneliness in his river
hooves of mule deer kick up
fallen ponderosa needles—
the grove fills with the soft scent
in the forest of memories
I picture the world—
as the world imagines me in return
an otter plays with the light—
there is no loneliness in his river
hooves of mule deer kick up
fallen ponderosa needles—
the grove fills with the soft scent
in the forest of memories
I picture the world—
as the world imagines me in return
Your poem sent me to a forest green with the moon shining brightly on a river as an otter played and a mule deer looked for food. This was so much fun to read. Be blessed!
