Lovely visuals as I wake up to this new day to remind me to pay attention.

Beautifully written Anna. Poetry seems a dying art, or perhaps I am just out of touch. Glad you included it on your blog, I liked it very much.

Beautifully penned, Anna. It seems to me that poetry is a dying art, or perhaps I am just out of touch. Regardless, I am glad that you shared it... I liked it very much.

Beautifully penned Anna...

It seems that poetry is dying,
or perhaps I'm just out of touch.
Thanks for sharing anyway,
I enjoyed it very much.
The red cliffs of New Mexico,
oh how I long again to see,
although it's very doubtful,
this will ever be.
Like a key, your poem has awakened,
pleasant memories I've stored away,
for that, I am very grateful,
and that's all I have to say.

“... in solitude, or in that deserted state when we are surrounded by human beings and yet they sympathize not with us, we love the flowers, the grass and the waters and the sky. In the motion of the very leaves of spring in the blue air there is then found a secret correspondence with our heart. “ —Shelly, On Love
