          Everything

Across moonlit hills
and forests without end,
a shooting star dances
through space and time
as the traceless Winter wind
plays its plaintive tune
through barren bone-wood
  trees.
On this night of epiphany
     and reclamation,
forget the grasping world
  of men.
Listen, truly listen friend,
and you will have heard
     everything.

                 --- b. e. adams (3/5/2015)


Men say they know many things
But lo, they have taken wings
All the arts and the sciences
   and myriad appliances
The Wind that blows
is far, far more
than any man truly knows
                H. D. Thoreau

Excellent thought process went into the writing of this one, Bruce.
