Windstar Redux
by Cynthia
Gullage
I
sat in Windstar's meadow
And
stresses slipped away,
There,
peace descended on me
To
set my thoughts in play.
Above
cathedral mountains
Mid
sunshine's sceptured sway
On
wide-spread wings of wonder,
An
eagle graced the day
The
magic of the moment
Held
me in speechless thrall,
Imparting,
yet, the knowledge,
"John's
with us, after all"
