Craig, I loved the line "I heard the wake of the morning / lapping the bay." Also the reference to gold makes a nice On Golden Pond connection. Superb in tone and lyrical quality, congratulations on your win ~ John

Craig, you had me from the first two lines. Such a beautiful lyric of parting, grieving and the comfort of all of our "golden ponds." Congratulations! All the best.
