         Sureties

For one stolen moment
frozen in an eagle’s call,
soft-salmon clouds
(surfing a deep-azure
   Aeolian sea)
hang in sunset-surprise
on the razor-cusp
of silver-grey mountains,
   ‘passing’ as well.
One recalls but three
   sublime ‘sureties’:
wind, time, and change…

wind…time…and change!

You have an unending well-spring of descriptive phrases, never before seen in a volume of poetry, and I am always pleasantly startled by what you come up with.
Enjoyed reading this

Your beautiful poem reminds me

Buddha tells us “Neither fire nor wind, birth nor death can erase our good deeds”;

Thoreau tells us “The finest workers in stone are not copper or steel tools, but the gentle touches of air and water working at their leisure with a liberal allowance of time”; and

Heraclitus tells us “Nothing endures but change”.

Especially enjoyed:

"For one stolen moment
frozen in an eagle’s call,"   ...and all your fine images.

Your words are as fresh and crisp as a sunrise, tempered with the pearlescent opal of a morning mist.

Lovely poem.
