      Relentless Beauty

a distant, inscrutable moon
watches all without judgment

silvered clouds lean together
on the far star horizon

perpetual vagabonds
dream of ‘homes’ that
never were or never
will be again

each lonely solitary ‘way’ is
crossed by many other paths
through these shifting shadows
tipped in condensed moonlight

into the darkest corners
of such unforgiving night
set free a joyous song in
your heart unrestrained            

long is my silent solitude
until face to face with the
one of relentless beauty
all words are gone

            (today’s Zen - 5/18/2017)

Each stanza a beautifully rich poem all it's own. Your palate never runs dry Mr. Adams.  

Just out looking for the real me...
