  Beyond This Winter Moment

  When only the cold light
    of a pallid dawn
  filters through languid
    smoke,
  lingering without intent
  on  the barren, shivering
    hills,
  what hopes may be
  sown in a bleak
    Winter garden?...
  and in these dank,
    empty rooms…
  where the lamp flame
    is frozen,
  will the pen still run
  with the ink of life
    and death...
  to some import?
  Cast your fate as a net
  into starry skies,
  beyond the moment’s
    limitations…
  and seize all the wonder
  in this radiant Universe
  of endless flux, and infinitely
  evolving potentialities…
  (the vast-cosmic mere
    of 'Deep-Time' delights)
  where finest dreams may ride...
  on the crest of eternity!

I could have quoted every line, however, these stood out the most for me.

"  Cast your fate as a net
  into starry skies,
  beyond the moment’s
    limitations…
  and seize all the wonder
  in this radiant Universe
  of endless flux, and infinitely
  evolving potentialities…"

~ Fantastic writing! ~ cosmic, expansive, spiritual, inspirational and very poetic!!!

Love & Universal Light,

Words to frame, and repeat daily...a mantra moment.

I can't bear to see this leave the main page yet. It's lovely and haunting to re-read.

I think this is one of your best, Bruce.
It takes the chill off winter. I am going to save this one.

again a fine piece. Do I sense this one is different from your other ones? It has stronger emotion beyond your general environmental romanticism. You put questions in the middle of your poem. I am right. I flipped through your many poems and I hardly see any question marks except two or three political poems.

Beautiful. enjoyed the read as always.
