A path upon these darkened waters
The luminous majesty reigns supreme
Radiant, ablaze with rapturous light
Enchanted are these depths of darkness
Revel I in the resplendent rising sun
Embraced within the wondrous firmament
And known be Glory known be Praise.

After spending a weekend at a music camp by a very pretty lake this poem seems to be the cherry on top. I've passed on a blog award to you. Details are on my blog if you would like to check it out.
Ashley, thank you ever so much: firstly for your visit, second for your honoring APOGEE Poet with a blog award, and thirdly, most importantly, for all you are to your new students. The posted "sing" was quite beautiful.
Pleased that you found my poem to "be the cherry on top."
I am honored that you have chosen to award APOGEE Poet, "One Lovely Blog Award." Several months back I received this very same award. I most certainly will accept and acknowledge its receipt by you before the week is over.
Hold to your generosity of spirit. It will most certainly be appreciated by your students.
In friendship,
Rose Marie

Congratulations on the award, Rose Marie.
A well deserved one.
Your poem today is just breathtaking.
Loved it.
Margie:)
Oh, I forgot to mention the photo.
It's breathtaking also!
Margie:)
Oh such a beautiful poem and photo, love them both.....received your book today and I am so happy to have it on my night table, so beautiful to read before going to sleep. Thank you my friend.....:-) Hugs
Margie, Thank you. My son captured this moment for me to share.
Bernie, A smile is filling this heart - thank you for all your interest and loving support. If ever you have any question in regard to any of the poems in, THE WIND AND THE WILLOW, it would be my pleasure to respond. Each poem a reflection, a questioning, a searching, of the ways of life and spirit. As you see, the poems are organized, as too, often our progression takes place. Both the introductory poem of the first section,
"The Spectator's Eye" and the concluding poem of the last section, "Innocence and Delight," are lullabies with refrains of praise. And so"The first and the last: "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord" (Revelation 1:8).
Blazingly original!
Harsha, Thank you - your words brought to mind the feeling when first met with the scene, indeed an original moment in time, forever original.
