    Visitors in the Mist

A deep crimson sun rides
the far western horizon
of these ancient ‘endless’
   hills
suspended in the moment,
as a velvet violet twilight
    touches down
(along infinite forest paths
   to nowhere)
with a blue moon rising
amid frosted stars and
galaxies dancing with
the time-shadows
of this grand celestial
  dream.
The ancient oaks
and native spirits
are the children
of these mountains;
we are but half-blind
visitors in the mist
and ‘see’ but little of
the intangibles they knew
as to all that is truly real,
significant, and eternal.

Ahhh . . . but for the visionaries such as yourself, Bruce, I feel that you can search these mountains where you reside and touch on the ones gone on before and accept their wisdom as your own.

Yes...you do reveal to us a magic that we might never see, Bruce.

Absolutely right, Bruce. Half blind with half a brain. Makes one wonder what it's all about but no wondering about your poetry. It's lovely!
