     December Night

The pensive sun sets...
a mystic, cloud-captured
moon arrives
with a roar of silence,
and the frosty breath
  of twilight,
on this Winter evening
tasting of transience.
Though we are but
passing apparitions,
like shadows wavering
in the Winter wind,
everyone’s 'story'…
is a quintescent verse
in the music of Life,
a vibrant arabesque
in “Deep-time’s”
elegant, eternal
   dance!

            --- b. e. adams

You dug down deep without yourself, my poetical friend, to write this soul-searching poem.

"everyone’s 'story'…
is a quintescent verse
in the music of Life,"

Could not possibly been said better. A hat tip to you, Sir.

Another most enjoyable excursion into your deep philosophical ponderings in your favorite environment. So beautiful!

I like Jerry's quote and I don't think anyone could have said it better.

Whew!  How did I miss this one until now?  I am so glad I found it.  You must be sick to death, Bruce, of my changing my favourite poem of yours on such a regular basis, but this is my new one!  Magnificent!  Exquisite!  Haunting!  Nature and humanity in a perfect blend, as things should be!

Almost a musical writing, Bruce.  It reminds of those cold, clear, moonlit, forty below nights (and days).  We are gaining daylight though.  Soon we will see the sun longer each day!  Yay!
