      Love’s Finest Measure

In these mystic-immortal hours
just beyond a crimson sunset,
the evening breeze through  
parting clouds and dancing trees
conjures old Celtic tunes and
  memories
to the lonely mind and heart
along this long-forgotten
  path to nowhere.
In this traceless wilderness
world of perfect moon and
  gentle starlight,
life is not measured out
by calendars and clocks nor
paper dollars by the millions
  laid end to end,
for they hold no purpose here ...
where infinite, mystic time and
endless change reign supreme
and only real love may hold the
finest measure of sacred truth.

reminds me of the old ways, there out in the country where nothing exists but nature and love and everything in the silence, I enjoyed the peaceful feel.

That is a very good place you have described, would that there were more of them than there really are. Nice work.

This beautiful poem deserves a second look.
Back to the top.
