        Nature's Way

A pale-luminous crescent
hangs above these ancient
  nameless hills,
bathed in peaceful calm
and gentle starlight
from a midnight-blue and
  boundless sky
of fresh evening cool,
on this night of lovely
dreams and endless
  possibilities
that pass unnoticed
by the ever melancholy,
grasping world of man.
Let only the moon and
stars and forest heart
be your true compass
along a very different
  chosen way.

Oh, that would be true connection with Nature, yes, dear Bruce.

Very beautiful and serene.

Yesterday evening I was at an open air concert under Pine trees and there was such a grand atmosphere, the indigo sky above, the breeze, the music ... and I could only spot one single star, the most luminous one ... maybe it was Sirius. Too much light hides the firmament, so sad!

Enjoyed your poem very much.

Love,
Margherita

Exquisite, Bruce. That last sentence has so much connection and so much loneliness.

Bruce,

Beautiful view that you share with us. Sometimes looking at such vastness and such the incredible views around me make me feel insignificant and somewhat lonely. Then, I look up high, high, high and wonder what is next.

You have me thinking, my friend.
