Moccasins

Lorna



Gliding through life quietly

Like moccasins in the forest

One drop of water

In a cloudful of rain

One shining drop

On the edge of a leaf

For just a moment's breath

Then into the foreverness

Of that last descent

    Beautiful words Lorna. We know that the last drop will return as it reaches the sea and rises into clouds to rain down once more.

    My Dear Lorna,

    A beautifully written poem. As I read it, lots of my thoughts become very clear. Youā€™re probably thinking of J and I of C. It does sadden me to think of life such as it is. So we smile and proceed.

    That's what we are i suppose, each of us one drop of rainfall in a cloud, to be swept into the vastness of an ocean.
    Very thoughtful, contemplative verse.

    I bought a native american flute last year and enjoyed playing it with its rich tones. It's the same, more or less, as the one in your picture but i can assure you that size instrument is not the one on the recording, it simply will not blow such low notes. A larger flute is being played and through a lot of electronic sound effect. But the instruments sound superb with the natural echo of a cave or beneath a bridge.

    Intoxicating the quiet of that flute music and love your beautiful words dear Lorna.
