reveling in the beauty of this land
half-watched through the screen on the back of my camera,
but fully appreciated.
each photograph lacks some dimension -
I can show you but it won't be like being there.
I store these moments in my sense memory
so later I can bring it to life again.
I wish your face, too,
was reflected in the Mirror Lakes,
and that you were here
to soak up the beauty of Fiordland as well.
Author notes
New Zealand is achingly beautiful.
