I like the peaceful feel of this and can identify with having a peaceful place to go to where a person can reflect and ponder life and the past. The picture is perfect for the write.

Your contest entry is in great form, Mystery Writer. Your image and 25 syllables are a perfect match. Your words flow smoothly with great imagery and a strong message. I could see this man thinking back to past days and wondering about the future.
Thanks for sharing. Best wishes.
Respectfully, Jan

Good job of supplying a poignant message while sticking to the contest rules of exactly 25 syllables. Yes, I counted them just to be fair. I love the picture you chose to go along with the piece. It adds much to the ambiance of the inspiring message. This is lifting and has meaning beyond and in between the lines. Reflecting while viewing your own reflection in the water surrounding you, as you go on a nature walk, is very compelling. I feel uplifted and good about myself as I imagine me on a hiking trip in the wilderness. Thank you for sharing your experience.
Take care,
Jesse

    You're welcome.
    I am wheelchair bound, but have high hopes of walking with just a cane after I have the repairative surgery on my lower back by my surgeon whom I trust. Then I will set out to find the joys in my life. Thank you for caring, and your well wishes.

This is well written within the parameters of the 25 syllable required for the contest. I hope you do well.

It is easy to get lost in our reflections while out enjoying our wonderful natural resources.

Dear author,..


I still stand often in

while reflecting upon
bygone days...
