I saw two clouds at morning,
Tinged with the rising sun,
And in the dawn they floated on,
And mingled into one;
I thought that morning cloud was blest,
It moved so sweetly to the west.
I saw two summer currents
Flow smoothly to their meeting,
And join their course, with silent force,
In peace each other greeting:
Calm was their course through banks of green,
While dimpling eddies played between.
Such be your gentle motion,
Till life’s last pulse shall beat;
Like summer’s beam, and summer’s stream,
Float on, in joy, to meet
A calmer sea, where storms shall cease –
A purer sky, where all is peace.

Such a lovely place! Where is it? The header pic seems so nice and serene! I want to go there too
in the Philippines, but there are other places too that one can escape to!
Lovely header and lovely pictures
thanks

thanks. it was VERY hot at that moment, but lovely
Beautiful snap
