            A Single Heart in Two Places          

Dazzling stars dance a deep-infinite sky under
the spell of a crescent moon rising above the roots
of these ‘endless’ hills, painted in sparkling frost
     and silver moonlight.
On this eve of the boundless and great Winter
     wind rising,
here in this lonely, forgotten space, where
the candles cry their last tears until dawn,
many sorrows come; yet my mind and spirit
remain clear and dwell in simple joy with you,
though we share a single heart in two places,
bound by the self-evident truth of deepest love.
To chase or demand more from this fleeting life
would be a quest to tether the shadows in a poet’s
    dream.

               --- b. e. adams (11/27/2014)

Happy 'Thanksgiving' to all the grand poets who walk the
fine blue sands of 'PIP-land' by the cyber-sea, and beyond !

A very romantic poem, Bruce!
"One heart in two places" - it's great.
Maybe it's better to be in one place, but anyway they are together.
Happy 'Thanksgiving' to you too!
