     Time Passages

the evening sun vanishes
over rooftops and hills___
moon on a thousand
    doorsteps

lovely stranger
fading with the mist___  
loneliness

midnight screams
a distant door slams___
helplessness

an unseen candle
wall-shadow smoke___
which is more real

the morning star rises___
wildflowers

A slice of life which is never perfect, but your rendition of it certainly is, Bruce.

Beautiful, Bruce.  Besides the exquisite imagery, I particularly enjoyed the enigmatic narrative.

Thanks to each of you for your comments on this Impressionistic 'Zenesque' penning!
