                      Springtime Bliss

The misty mountain forest is cool, dark, and deep
demanding nothing from the wanderer among
   a million trees and infinite clouds.
These ancient rocks are the finest teachers
speaking silent wisdom from a thousand vanished
   worlds in the ‘Deep-Time’ story.
Here, only a drifting twilight moon is the heart’s
pivot and true compass through the long silvered
shadows, fragrant pines, and woodland waterfalls
where a wild whispering wind chants an evening
spirit-song of life, love, and loss to the lonely mind.
What price could be placed on even one such moment
of the ‘now' and this exquisite Springtime bliss?

Ahhh . . . Who would even try to place a price on your lovely mountains, Bruce? They charge us nothing to wander within their boundaries as you yourself stated early in the poem.

I really liked, "a drifting twilight moon is the heart’s pivot and true compass."

Priceless, Bruce. Your beautiful mountains and the poem.
