Notes About The Poem

 

Caspar Friedrich's 'Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog

Untroubled Heaven - Above the Sea of Fog

A man in a black suit, and cane drawn
wandering above the sea of fog 
wildlife, mountains, lakes, and bog

Untroubled Heaven in his eyes for the moment
fields of green, awaken refreshed at dawn
where salmon runs the rivers blue to spawn

where shaggy mane elks labor their spring calves
black-tailed and mule deer birth their newborn
a habitat full of wildlife species that are born

Ah, Eve, this is poetic genius. Love the photo also. I saw it before I noticed the photo and they go together like twins who get along well with each other.

Thank you, Caren, one of my very favorite scenes. I've been on top of a mountain where all you see is the fog or clouds and once in awhile you see the spears of pine peeking.
