In Uganik Bay that year the sun never set I walked the long greening path to the dock fireweed taller than I shooting summer's sky Warmth of sun bringing lazy lily's leaning Little waves splashed breaking cerulean blue I waited the mail plane, pontooned it flew Lulling oceans smooth you landed with eyes that sailed me far-off island stranded next to you Float plane to carry us edging mountains, snowy, jagged Dall sheep, perched asleep precariously rocky hung Kodiak bears forded rivers we circled streaming on Deep black kettle ponds no man to touch snowy patches amid viridian lush frozen, not to melt our treasured days of flying We met again at Hatcher's pass with hearts to break as fragile glass a part of love undying
