Miraflor

Watching a sunset in the highlands of Nicaragua, sitting on a swing bench on a coffee farm with no electricity and no running water... just the sounds and sights of the jungle around us.

Imagine everything you've
ever imagined

captured in an ember

             glow

Golden spires, fading hill

emerald pierced by a

lancing throw

See it, touch it, taste it,
be it

watch the colours

change it slow

Want it, love it, have it,
make it

take what's here and

have it show

through hands and eyes
and nature's soul
not through words in a
painter's bowl
for love is here and love
is whole
and whole is I, so off
I go!

There is nothing more invigorating, restoring, soothing and calming than Nature in its primal state! Since we are all deeply rooted in Nature's soil, for that's the place where we are truly at home and where we find rest.
We should all cherish and value each moment and Mother Nature much more ...

Great picture and a beauty filled poem.

[Cassiopia Summers]

I love the rhythm to the poem. (= This is a good write.

[Coyote Poetry]

Poem and photo is beautiful. I spend two years in Central American. Your words brought me back to good and quiet nights where there was no electric and little noise to disturb the peace of the night. A outstanding poem. Thank you.

This is good, and the photograph is excellent. My only real critique is in this first stanza, when you say "Imagine everything you've ever imagined..." I don't like seeing a word repeated, especially when the English language gives you a thousand different ways to say everything. Other than that, this is a nice little paradoxical piece of poetry that captures the feelings conveyed on the writer by Miraflor.
