Pensive and fascina...The essay was wonderful, Rick. Pensive and fascinating - I'd never come across the word "contrails" before, or knew what one was. Your words have a resounding poignancy - we are so small in this vast planet, indeed, this vast universe. We must treasure the little time we have. Your last sentence is perfect, I couldn't put it better myself, "And appreciate the short time you're able to live, stand, look into the sky and imagine." A powerful aphorism, and a wise one to live by. <br /><br />And your poem! Simply marvellous. And it's so great that you wrote it immediately after and during your sight of the contrail - while the emotion and the thoughts were freshest in your mind. Living poetry at its most vivid and brilliant. I especially liked the vibrant phrase, "Earth's ocean sky".Sam Liuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01014838954712295981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1057911927790802422.post-78761587861022633592010-09-11T16:37:49.793-07:002010-09-11T16:37:49.793-07:00A wonderful reflection on something we all see eve...A wonderful reflection on something we all see everyday.
