My angular and wandering travels....

I'm an international person, having spent 6+years of my youth in various Central and South American countries. Within my occupation as a television engineer, I've since traveled back to Mexico several times to film various religious sites, to Ireland to film a video documentary on the life of St. Patrick, to Portugal and England. Each time I took hundreds of pictures, wrote songs and poems about the things I saw and heard and felt go on around me, and tried to absorb a sense for what people in each locale thought. How they love, how they see, how they think.... My other sites: www.myspace.com/mothtoacandle http://community.webshots.com/user/waynocook www.soundclick.com/eddieaustin

Such a Smile!

Through the woods, I tread one day,
the leaves crackling underfoot.
I wondered as I passed,
why I needed those hiking boots.
Then happened, as wondrous suprises always do,
I arrived at a hillocks edge.
The pebbles tumbled down,
I feared I’d made my last step!
A vista of land spread before me,
with valleys and hills, and clouds.
I gasped, my heart paused,
my breath caught aloud.
Barely a breeze, but O, the art,
The panorama lay for miles!
The sight rose as if a movie shot,
Now left me….with such a smile!
