        The Evening Mist

Along the dark, deep forest edge,
just beyond a crimson sunset
and its velvet-violet afterglow,
a heady calm and silence falls
and rises to dance, with the moonlit
shadows and shades of a thousand
generations forever lost, through
these ancient ‘endless’ hills
beneath a sharp cosmic crescent
carving out its slice of star field
splendor as it has some billion
   times before.
This place is from another world
of immortal Deep-Time dreams.
Suddenly somehow another Spring
has passed; and here one comes to
know our lives are the evening mist.

Last line is the wake-you-up kicker, Bruce. Descriptive and  magical are your thoughts and words.

Thanks so much JP, Martie, and Ida !!

(I live amid these 400 million yr. old
   magical/mystical 'endless' mountains
    and the forests and come from 1500
    or more years of Celtic ancestry ...
    it all has its powerful effects on one!)
