There’s a Last Chance for Everything

Swirling clouds dance through the
    azure emptiness
to a soft breeze and morning song.

This verdant forest of dapple sun
holds more truth than any man
   shall ever know.

A lone heron roams an endless sky
above a lake of Summer dreams.

Deep thoughts flow here in subtle
    tides and currents
but returning always to seek
    her heart,
and one last chance for
the greatest love story
this world has ever known.

                   --- b. e. adams (8/3/2017)
                        [my birthday poem]

Thanks Ida !

"Runaway American Dream") needs more 'incurable Romantics?!']
