    Nature's Truth and Love

As the night wind plays a
perfect twilight melody
to a gentle vanishing sunset,
the rising moon sweeps o’er
mountain, lake, and forest
in a flickering moonbeam
   shadow-dance
on this eve of Spring passing,
washing mind, heart, and spirit
clear of all worry, grief, and pain,
until only Nature’s truth and love
   remain;
and in refusing all other worldly
thoughts, hopes, or dreams ...
I know only you.

Nice lean up to the real reason this poem was written. You give us nature's finest beauty before the last line defines you.

So beautiful, Bruce!  Most of us don't forsake those worldly things often enough.

Sounds really as a love poem )

And these lines I like very much:
"clear of all worry, grief, and pain,
until only Nature’s truth and love
remain"
Getting in touch with nature clarifies us )
