Skywatch Friday: Love Echoes

Host unlimited photos at slide.com for FREE!
How deeply do I love me?
Asked the moon of the moon.

I would drown but to kiss my face--

I would drown but to change my place

How deeply do I love me?

Asked the moon of the moon.

Too much, too much....

(The view made me think of Langston Hughes's poem "Suicide's Note"--"The calm/Cool face of the river/Asked me for a kiss."--without the fatalism!)

The dark bump in the water in the foreground is a frog.
