Only in my imagination
do I dwell here
contemplating beauty
forgotten senses rise within me,
ancient, from other days,
The scents of tropical forests
poignant and steamy;
The path beckons me forward
to walk
beneath the towering canopy
spaces alive with birdsong
the rustling of primates
in the trees
exquisite flowers
blooming
Costa Rica you are calling to me
wouldst that I could answer

ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Costa Rica beckons :)
ReplyDeleteI had that same feeling about this photo ... longing to be there. Maybe someday.
