          Summer  Breeze

Just beyond a flaming sunset
and the last magic glimmer
of  gentle-evening twilight,
beneath a midnight blue
mantle of clouds, stars,
and bright moon rising, here
where ancient silvered oaks
dance the silken shadows to
  deep-forest tunes
swept by a soft Summer breeze,
there comes that irresistible
dream-time of free-floating
thoughts and  memories of all
the 'if only...should have beens.’
I shall surrender instead to a far
different siren call of self-imposed
  forgetfulness,
lost by choice in the mirror of her eyes,
forgiving life in the ‘now’ to simply
chance once more on love.

Super poetry, Bruce, and I especially liked the last three lines.
