       A Celebration of Life
          and Wilderness

In the first fine glow of morning
when a grand pearl-grey dawn
breaks upon…the immense,
implacable spirit of the
  shimmering sea,
where tired rivers flow
beneath fast-fading stars
  in a cosmic dream…
(bisecting the winds of Time)
one thinks of all the tiny,
  reawakening things
in so many unsung ‘worlds’
  of new promise…
quite different from our own
where clocks rage endlessly on,
while time and destiny
  laugh and point
at those who may never
  truly 'understand’;
but shall remain instead
  forever ‘lost’...
in power’s vain pursuit
and greed’s elusive pleasure,
or jousting with their ever-gathering
shadows of self-delusion
as to what should really
  ‘matter’… which is ...
simply love, the celebration
  of all life, and wilderness!

What a gentle awakening into the 'hustle and bustle' and then out again with a sort of, kind of virtuous, yet sentimental, vengeance. Enjoyed!
