       One true compass

beyond the crimson sunset
and twilight clouds parting
gentle wind … bright moon …
in this last refuge of
undefiled tranquility,  
quiet the mind
open  the heart
and shake off all bonds
of the day’s desperation
to dance with these deep-woods
shadows and your dreams
of a world without yearning
where only love is the one
  true compass.

             ---  b. e. adams (6/29/2012)

How does one reply to perfection...how does one reply to love so amazingly defined...
"where only love is the one
  true compass."...so much of this poem touches the heart...you are truely a poet who writes love with heart, mind and soul...**BIG HUGS*

Truly lovely, Bruce.  I, for one, am hoping for a world where love is the one true compass.

Once again you have woven together the magic you weave so well and given us the deep-woods world of Bruce Adams.

My my Bruce that is such a peaceful presentation of scenes.
I really enjoyed the read and I'm going to head for a place like that very soon.
Thanks

Eric

true love never looks after it's own interests
