    Autumn Forest Lake

soft clouds drifting in
a bright, tall sky...

bird-shadow pathways
through these daydreaming
  hills…

moonlight penetrating
midnight ripples...
(to fathom–dance
with the spirits of
these ancient waters)

here, Natures leaves
the mind without motion;
the heart beyond
all vanity, arrogance,
  or contempt;
the spirit set free ...
to touch the Universe
  and know only Love.

              ---b. e. adams  (10/13/2012)

(in tribute to my favorite season and my beloved
    Appalachia)

And quite a tribute it is, Bruce. It is your style, and your style ranks up there among the so-called greats in the world of poetry. When a reader is finished with one of your poems, such as this one, he realizes he has been in the company of greatness. I feel that very much tonight.

Thank you so much, Jerry!
(I'm humbled by your comment) ...

however, the reason I 're-worked' that last poem [Time Passages (re-tailored)]
was because I need to avoid 'reality writes' ... I'm simply not as versatile as many
(most?) of you other folks.
