lagoon in my memories
fills dormant volcano crater;
nicaraguan vendors encircle
tourists as mountains surround
deep blue pocket of aquatic life.
lagoon of my memories
fills crevices of heart and mind;
as faces from childhood encircle
present experience, surrounding
deeply personal perspective on life.

Lagoons bring beautiful memories.
It truly is a perspective of life & also a home for so many animals.
Well expressed

Lynn, this is a beautiful exploration of memories, skillfully intertwining Nicaraguan landscapes with personal recollections. The imagery of a dormant volcano transformed into a lagoon mirrors the way memories fill the heart and mind…
