      Summer Evening
       (an impression)

Gentle twilight settles in
with lovely teal-tipped
clouds against a salmon
  sunset sky
and a grand-bright
Summer moon rising.
The forest edge grows
  dark and silent
beneath an infinite
mantle of tremulous
  stars.
A soft celestial wind
still stirs ripples on this
crystal lake of dreams
and silvered willow leaves
to dance with the spirits
of these ‘endless’ hills,
perhaps to some ancient
Celtic tune drifting in
  and out of Time.
One thinks of all those
who have ever loved
and walked such mystic
woodland ways before.

               --- b. e. adams (7/16/2014)

Each word is a brilliant splash of color...

Beautiful images, gorgeous poetry.

Thanks for "breaking the ice," Bruce. This yet another of your word weaving that is so fascinating.

This is is at the top of my list of favorites
of yours. I have a soft spot for Celtic music and that just pulled it all together for the finale of the last line.

I have a soft spot for your poetry, Bruce and this one is beautiful in it's imagery and musical undertones.
