wow, very nice lines. i think a little dodging on your subject would help it stand out more rather than the sky.

Ahhhh Don glad you made it here. I thought we might see you around this area when this side challenge was announced.
Sheeeesh, you are making me feel like such a loser by not composing my own poetry. But ... I'll let it for you truly talented folks!
Beautiful together your two pieces of art.

Stop making me cry! Seriously, a deeply moving poem, and well-coupled with an image that suggests loss/the lost.

Comment by ErinM:
I'm struck by how the shadows and surface ripples add tension to the image, similar to the tension that runs throughout the poem. Very fine work, on all counts.

So many levels of feeling in both the poem and the image - stirring, indeed.

WOW - stunning. This is also reminiscent of one of my favorite melodies

the autumn leaves
drift by my window
the autumn leaves
of read and gold
I feel your lips
and summer kisses
the sunburned hands I used to hold

I won't list the entire song, but man, this is really a great way to bring emotion and words to the heart!!
