       Our Only Home

Cloud legions marching
row on row in a
deep-azure sky
through these ‘endless’
   hills
beneath the burning-sun
question as to why all is …
and is what it is …
The Summer holds no care
when Spring and we are gone.
Yet Spring will return.
So brief life’s candle
in this ever-rolling world
of human schemes and
   discontent.
Treasure each moment
   of pliant joy
in the grand-resplendent
‘now’ of infinite potential
which is our only ‘home.’

               --- b. e. adams [ the 'accidental' Buddhist (5/25/2013) ]

Plain talk about the planet, the seasons and reasons why we should take life as it is and make the best of it. Very good poetry.

The clouds marching into summer brings a nice introspection on life within your poem. Enjoyed!
