   A Winter Moment
        out of Time
    (an impression)

December morning
swept by a pallid dawn
and voiceless wind.
All seems suspended
in a silent, eternally
shifting light and
shadow dance,
belying for but a
    moment
the ever-rolling seasons
and this world of flux
   and transience
where only change is
    changeless
and the one certain
   certainty.

          --- b. e. adams (12/24/2014)

Nice play on words there at the end, Bruce. This was, as a whole, exceptional in my way of thinking.
