Description
"There are no more summers left,
in this heart of mine;
where once it knew sunshine's laughter,
and the gentle touch of calming rain;
sweet echoes call out to me,
and now I am coming home."
------------------------
I received some terrible news today. I am striken with sadness, grief and a very real sense of both longing and loss.
This image is dedicated to a very good friend who has by example alone inspired me to take up photography simply for the joy of capturing that tiny slice of life. He shared the sad news that he is terminally ill and will not have much longer with us.
Thank you very much for taking the time to look.

This sky is image of my soul...beautyfull...:)
So sad to hear of your loss, Moe. You strike me as a person with a zeal for life. Bits an pieces of your personality "peek" through your words sometimes so I suspect you have your proper share of emotions as well. I can understand, then, how a person who has had an effect on your life would be a very sad loss. You have my sympathy.
I'm very sorry for your loss Moe. I hope you feel a bit of catharsis from this photo.
My condolences on your loss.
Beautiful shot. My condolences as well.
Sorry to hear you've had sad news. Just know you are not alone. Beautiful photo. Love the perspective. V (:
