NOW, ONLY AN ECHO


I wanted a simple life. Peaceful, solitude,  - - leaving complications behind. I felt an enormous sigh of relief in the bosom of Mother Nature. I left the chaotic world and never missed it. My cats and books and music. Walks through the forest which beckoned me, and I gave no resistance to the temptation.The neighboring cattle. White tail deer. Wild turkeys. Hawks effortlessly soaring almost touching the heavens.

In the morning, when I awake, the soothingly plaintive coo-coo of the mourning dove - - who settled somewhere near the window.

I savor this passing dream, that tauntingly remembers me within distant echoes.

Jon, with love
