     Vanishings

wavering sunset and
empty mountain-forest

bright-swift stream and
deep blue current

man’s ‘grand’ intents
  and purposes

vanishing all…

none can suppress
the evening mist
  and time

  ---b. e. adams [2/22/08]

Secondhanddreampoet,

I really like your last strophe.  It’s well said, and true.  Time is one of the four constants that can’t be messed with.

“none can suppress
the evening mist
  and time”

Yep, and I love how nature can so easily reclaim what man has thought he owned.

So very true, Bruce and to think there are those who think they have power and control.
Time is laughing.
