                Tracks of Our Dreams

Just beyond a chilled and pensive sunset, on
this forgotten corner of the ever-spinning world,
as constellations begin their diurnal drift
across a dome of midnight blue,
a spectral floss of evening mist still
dances with the first moonbeams
    and shadows,
though these ‘endless’ hills out of Time,
until the winnowing wind sweeps a
thousand wooded glens and meadows clean.
This is the nether-land of all forsaken wanderers
following the tracts of our faded memories, lost
loves, and elusive dreams.
Which is truly lonelier on any night such as this
these deep mountain forests or the ancient
    restless sea?

Okay. Had to look up diurnal. Now I know. A very introspective piece of poetry putting together thoughts and images, which eventually lead to a lonely moment in time.

You capture the majesty of our world and the depth of feelings when you listen to the profound silence revealing mysteries.

You do capture the true beauty of this world better than anyone I know, Bruce.
