Swan Song

Today, I went to a colleague's house at Leavenworth for Sunday lunch.  The first time I went there, the blizzards turned everything snow white.  Today, the spring sun brought out the romance of the country side - a country side with uninterrupted view of nearby farmland, and a wide blue sky that swept away the winter blues of the past few months.  Only the waterlogged fields reminded me of the snow storms of the winter just gone. 

Missing from this photo is a John Dere truck or two

To round up a perfect day, I saw, from the hotel window, a bright moon on the horizon at early evening.  It was a moment of visual delight. 


Under a vast sky
The warm spring sun
Envelopes me in your embrace
It's time to come home
