In Reflections

on the ice of frozen stream
image of the breaking dawn
golden hue in crimson seam
through the fields a waking fawn
watching flight of lonely swan

Sam Kauffman Date: 8/6/2021 10:42:00 AM Your imagery is always so vivid and precise Sandra. The setting of this poem in winter is perfect to express the "flight of the lonely swan." As I understand it, swans mate for life. Your last line is a picture of grief in words at sunrise. Grief and hope intertwined masterfully my friend. Blessings to you and a hug. A fav for me.
