a way back - a poem by Brandon Dean

hey everyone! 

so the most exciting thing happened!  one of my blog followers, a poet, was inspired by a photograph of mine and created a poem to go along with it.  isn't that brilliant?  needless to say I'm thrilled and so happy to provide a bit of inspiration to others when I have taken so much inspiration from them in the first place.

here is my photo

and here is a link to the original poem
