Wanderring...
So close,so far…
It felt like eternity…
I walked …and walked
lost in a paradise of ice
Hopelessly crying,hoping
to be delivered from that immensity.
I reached the top of that icy pic
and saw a small refuge.
For an euphoric instant
I saw His Face in the clouds
The Keeper of my souvenirs
I knew ,then
The reason of my wanderring… Gigi
My first poem in english and first experience for me.This situation happened to me two days ago,I’ve got lost in the woods for 3 hours,walking and walking,desperate to find a saving light.It was so dark,even Tchoko was worried,chasing imaginary animals….then I saw thousands of stars all arround me,it was fireflies….it was like being part of the universe…nothing else but fireflies…then I realised I was out of the woods.I met 6 persons and asked for help,one of them let me do a phone call but Michel was working late and wasn’t there.I have to say that I hated humanbeings that night and I cried of rage instead of fear.I finaly saw a police car on the road and went back to where I was parked.It was midnight.Tchoko and I slept the day after,tired but happy to be home.
...A true story ..thanks for reading…x
PS. I wanted to do the sunset on the top of a mountain,the same place I took «Together at last»but I forgot the time shooting mushrooms…. :)))..it’s all me.
A macro shot of snow that fell down the roof last winter.I hope I’m not the only one who sees a part of a face in the clouds… :))...better view larger.

robyn nuttall
wonderful image and very scary!
Christopher E...
totally awesome image..and wow what a story!! glad you made it home safely, this is why you always take a flint (to start a fire with), alittle string (can find any stick to make a pole), so if you do get lost, you can build fire to stay warm, also creates smoke and makes someone come check it out, and line to catch fish for food if water is around :)
micmac in reply to Christopher Ewing’s comment
Lucky for me I had a very tiny flash light and I always have matches in a plastic bag,I had a bottle of bugs repulsif and a hat with a net on my head.I had to go through a small river and big fields to find some living souls…I was all wet,what a knight,all that for a sunset…LOL thanks Chris…x

this is an instant fav ~ I was strolling thru the art in Nature’s Macro Canvas and at the thumbnail felt for sure this was a landscape ~ and even when I came closer ~ I still had a hard time getting this wasn’t a sloping mountain side with large cloud looming over it with a slice of sky to the right corner…then I read your story and it just added sooo much ~ it being true and the way it felt to you~ just stellar icing on the cake! bravo~for the image and story and for safely making it home ~ thankful for all :) xx
