True Compass of the Heart

In this time-abeyant
world of limpid moon,
liquid shadows,
and deep-forest calm,
just beyond the delicious
  twilight,
there is nothing to
posses but the pure
and simple freedom,
joy,  and serenity in
the voice of a clear
mountain stream and
each such moment of
  the wilderness.
Along these trackless ways
of this very different land,
beyond all the grasping
grey-tower greed of men,
meaning and purpose
lie not in some hidden
realm just beyond the
  farthest star,
but here in this place
and the 'now' where
Love becomes the one
true compass of the heart.

Absolutely beautiful, dear Bruce. And I couldn't agree more about Love being the true compass of the heart. If we checked that compass more often and oriented ourselves by it, we would more often contribute to a better life no doubt.

Much enjoyed. .... and you weave your dreams well!
