                  Simply Love!

Life whirls on like a tameless wildfire
in the ever-grasping world of men, where
it is far too easy to become hard, cruel, and
  callously indifferent;
but wandering these ancient ‘endless’ hills
and woodland paths, one learns gentle
forgiveness for all that has ever been,
in purest surrender to the ephemeral
beauty and perfection of a night such as
this that none shall ever ‘own.’
Here, the checkered forest floor dances in
moonbeams and shadows under a deep-vast
evening sky of spinning constellations while
a plaintive evening wind softly sings a sad
   lament to Autumn passing.
Laugh at yourself; embrace transience
and change; abandon arrogance and envy;
and, above all else, simply love … simply love!

               --- b. e. adams (Hallows Eve, 2014)

Yes indeed you are a romantic and there is nothing wrong with that.My husband was also but could never express his inner feelings. You have been blessed with that ability.Treasure it, best to you, Jo

you always present a very simple but poignant
look into all that Mother Nature shows us,if only more would see it
