         Consilience

Walk a deep-forest path
where only shadows follow,
tumbling along with our
  dreams.
Listen for the ‘voice’ of the
  changing seasons.
Taste a crisp-bright
moonlit Winter night.
Dwell upon the world
  suspended,
in a single drop of dew
or the astonishing artistry
of a fleeting flake of snow.
Contemplate a sea and sky
  of infinite motion.
Let your mind range
far and wide with the
  ever-rolling clouds.
and be at peace with all
for we are one
with the universe.

This is one of those poems I just had to read aloud. You derive so much more of a poem if read aloud, and your poems get read aloud quite often, Bruce.

There is so much depth and inner peace to this grouping of words that if I wasn't careful it would have brought me misty-eyed.

These lines started it off and the ones which followed were just as captivating . . .
