   A Spiritual Life

All self-focused
arrogance in the
name of desperate
greed, luxury, glory
(which is fleeting),
and all our myriad
machines and  
   ‘appliances,’
have had little effect
on the quintessential
laws of the universe.
That which remains
most truly ‘alive’ is
only wilderness and
   Love.
These still stand to
talk against Time
as the only hope for
any human future
delimiting our real
    needs
and calling us always
toward a higher,
spiritual life.

       --- b. e. adams (‘word-painter’/natural philosopher/Romanticist) 6/24/2016
