Zen of Winter Passing


beyond the storm
the milky way
stretches over
all that has
ever been

the cold
settles in
on ‘endless’
hills
of Winter
moonlight


beyond the
forest edge
moonlight
and distant
evening bells


surely somewhere
there is a world
free of yearning


pale twilight
a Winter raven
wanders off
into the endless
    sky


what do we
truly know
of the shadows
or the light


rocks and water
a forest path
to nowhere
rocks and water


weeping …
perhaps the willow
knows all passions
of the heart

  
past and future
unattainable
dance in the
Winter moonlight


The wind is so gentle
the moon so bright
come then, my darling
lets dance the moonlight


alone in the Winter
    moonlight
when is a life more
than a monument
to silence


Winter midnight
everywhere frost
and condensed
    moonlight

We only know what we know. 'Endless hills which actually have an end, except maybe in your thoughts. Just keep on keeping on, Bruce

It is the harmony of the universe
