Rays of the sun penetrating

The fronds of life setting

Down their shiny and flat

Surfaces flowing and reaping

Warmth along their love strands.

Fantasizing about sharing

This life with my cherished

Daughter of love for life

With dreams in awakening

Through the slumber existing.

Umpqua Hot Springs River,

Toketee Lake and Waterfall,

Full moon rising in clouds,

Clear soaking in the Springs,

Warmth radiating in our souls.

Peace ascending and descending,

Capturing the essence of night,

With days bringing kind-hearted

Joy, sharing and simple longing,

Embracing and belonging as one....
