Spring Evening Just beyond a flaming sunset in the soft-velvet twilight afterglow, as the harsh world of men grows dim, stars bloom in the cosmic desert’s grand immensity. A crescent moon hangs the far eastern sky horizon and moonlight slips across this grey river silvering all but the heaviest shadows. The night breezes tickles reeds along the shore to quietly rippling laughter. All of life settles in on such a gentle Spring night in pause from Nature’s random busywork, as it has for three hundred million years. Who are we to disturb the universe? --- b. e. adams (4/2/2017) [This message has been edited by secondhanddreampoet (04-02-2017 05:29 PM).] |

"as the harsh world of men grows dim" Yes, my friend, from that harshness to the velvet and mystical world of such splendor mankind can only stand and gawk. Our eyes fills our hearts on such an event you have given us. ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |

thanks, JP ! even a fine snowfall seems to soften (blunt) hard-edged (human-built) "reality!" |

... but, who (in America in particular) "listens" to 'ol environmental poet-geologists. We're way down the queue (of who folks might 'pay attention to') behind professional turnip jugglers, etc.! |
