Thought FlightA Poem by Chris Shaw(A poem written for a friend from a photograph)
This tranquil scene you've made your own,
where you can lose yourself in thought, where river willows bend in breeze, where trees reach tall to touch the sky and glassy waters pass on by. I stood there on the bridge today, watched graceful swans in pairs glide past. Though autumn russets will not last and ochre hues give way to views of winter and its icy stare. I felt your presence hover there, I knew you'd travelled in your dreams. Whatever season of the year, this place will bring you peace of mind, you'll find what you are looking for. What's more, when seen at dead of night, when lamplight shoots its amber glow across the calm and blackened flow, there's no where else I'd rather be, there's no where else I need to go.
