From the Mountain Top

FROM THE MOUNTAIN TOP – four Haiku from the mountain top checkerboard to spreading seas i standing alone from the mountain top what the great winged eagle sees so solitary from the mountain top my every thought soaring a dizzying height at last I descend join the passing parade know nothing decided

Isn't that the way it goes, Daver. We take time to be alone and ponder life, but often return (descend) with no decisions made. Insightful statement on human behavior. Have a blessed Fathers Day, dear friend. Love, Carolyn

From an eagle's vantage point, Daver? I'm still thinking about the write before, it will taint what I write, so I'll come back to read this!:) Best wishes, Love, Mikki
