The Reckoning In that infinite, inviolate space between our fleeting fears and sedulous dreams, when the chevalier moon wears an ebony cloak of limpid, tremulous stars and wandering hours, to deftly orchestrate the dappling dance of bare-oak shadows, resplendent snow, and opalescent moonlight, so few shall ever truly ‘see’… In such a winter-mountain forest, one weighs with heavy heart the nature of our ‘worth’ against 4 million years of damage we have done! ---b. e. adams (3/6/08) |

"when the chevalier moon wears an ebony cloak of limpid, tremulous stars and wandering hours" Oh, Bruce, that is gorgeous imagery! I love the thought of 'tremulous stars'! |

Secondhanddreampoet, This is very deftly written. Who will be weighing "our" worth--and who is this "our"? Bobby |

"Sedulous dreams"... I like the sound of that when it's spoken, and now that I've had the chance to look up the meaning of the word sedulous, I like it even more! Especially as you've placed it in this context: "In that infinite, inviolate space between our fleeting fears and sedulous dreams," The content of this write is well expressed. |

wow...I became a 'member elite' in "P.I.P.-land" speaking of 'reckonings'...perhaps it is time to retire my 'scribbling?!' (many thanks to all who read and commented on this 'write!) |
