Wow! (Nature must not have liked the poem either. :D) Talk about circumstances.

Anyway, just wondering did you pick up that this was referring to the sky through bodies of water (collectively termed seas, somehow that works but I'm not sure how).

Ha! - I guess a higher power was trying to tell me something... At least I got the message. :)

Yeah, I got the reflection of the sky... The Moonbow and sun light/rays give it away. :D

Actually the moonbow was the only non-sky oriented image I used (although I guess I was still referring to a crescent moon). It is actually a natural phenomenon occuring at Cumberland Falls here in Kentucky and I believe Angel Falls somewhere in South America (it may be Brazil, but I am thinking Columbia). Anyway it is actually a silver "rainbow" that is caused by a full moon shining at a certain angle on the waterfall. I believe that there is the further stipulation that there must be a large amount of mist at the bottom of the waterfall to reflect the light, but I am not sure about that. Anyway, I have not actually seen this moonbow (we were there at the wrong time) but I have seen pictures of it and it is very interesting (again, think of a silver rainbow).

But yeah, more than reflections, the with wide, steady lake represented an indistinct sheet of a cloud covering the whole sky, and so forth. (Look at it in those terms).

Ah, I see, very interesting. Kentucky's not too far away; maybe I'll see that water fall some time. Angel Falls is in Venezuela I believe... Or maybe in was Argentina.... I don't know, I think Venezuela, but wouldn't bet my tacos on it.

Until I saw that you said you lived in the Bible Belt I thought you were from California (for whatever reason). Anyway, I think Argentina, Venezuala is in Central America. Although I might have the waterfall confused and it is a completely different one somewhere in Brazil. (It is too confusing! I'll get over it though, I promise.)

And you were right, I am from California, but am currently living in the bible belt. :)

Yeah, Venezuela is around Center America. Argentina's too far south I believe ( it's beneath Brazil ). There is a water fall there... It was in the film 'Happy Together'. I don't remember the name though.
