Walking on the chipped rock face of the cliff, I was looking down... <br />at the small impressions along the river. My dogs, swimming in the water's edge... They look happy. Content at splashing the muddy waters of the Rio Grande', lapping up the leftovers. <br /> <br />I grab a quick capture- 'Snap! ' zoom! 'Snap! ' <br /> <br />Smiling, satisfied at the images on my camera, I move on, and upward... <br /> <br />A Robidilo Jack Rabbit sprints for the finish line at the top of the hill. <br />Zoom! 'Snap! ' <br /> <br />After 20 hard minutes of climbing...I reach the top. I look around, and the view simply takes my breath. I focus wide angle... and my lens absorbs the beauty...'Snap! ' <br /> <br />Setting my Canon EOS 5D Mark III down on the nearest boulder, I remove my pack, and pull out a warm Coors Light, and 'pop' the tab...taking a long hit from my favorite beverage. <br /> <br />'Aaahh! ' The moment is perfect...Well, almost. You backed out of the promised meeting time and place...last minute 'what if's' took their toll... I smile, because I love you anyway...understanding your feelings, your doubts, your misgivings about coming here, into my world. <br /> <br />I will send you the images I captured today, the day that was supposed to be 'our day, ' and I laugh as I get an incredibly stupid idea... but fuck it! I'm gonna do it anyway... <br /> <br />Setting the camera facing me, I set the automatic timer button and press the shutter... the light beeps red and beeps faster as the moment approaches... <br /> <br />I scramble a few feet away... and 'Beeeeeep, Snap! ' <br /> <br />Smiling... I pull my pants back up, zip and buckle, and walk over to retrieve my camera, and I smile even bigger.... my bare ass exposed, mooning you from New Mexico! <br /> <br />cKs.12/08/12<br /><br />Kelly Seale<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/rendezvous-4/
