  Winter Forest Dream

Wind-shadow snowflakes
spiral dance the shafts
of icy winter moonlight,
through bare-bone trees
on a nameless hill,
in this forgotten forest
  dream;
here … you become …
the limitless universe.

Beautiful imagery that leads one beyond the limits of man made boundaries.

When I envisioned your snowflakes I envisioned a microcosm of galaxies spinning around each other in a graceful dance. Your reference to the universe was apt.

A lovely poem.

Bruce, I was nervous to open this, after reading your suppppppperb Cold Mountain Forest. I still think that Cold Mountain Forest is your best, but I wasn't at all disappointed with this one. I love the new wave in your poetry, lately. Aside from the fact that your excellence is becoming greater excellence, there is a new breath of optimism that is very beautiful and reassuring . . .

brrrrrrr...the vividness of imagery in this phrase is downright chilling:

"Wind-shadow snowflakes
spiral dance the shafts
of icy winter moonlight"

...love the movement in the words alone....exceptional...

I wanted to highlight the whole poem, but I chose to paste this part of your poem here. It just speaks to me! I love it so much, so descriptive and full of Mother Nature...
