   reality of change

wild flowers flaming
in abandoned fields

bright-clear moon
in this quiet lake

evanescent dreams
  and memories

words of love
  left unspoken

how real is the
  momentary?

cling to nothing
but the certainty
  of change
in this floating world

Magical poem, Bruce. I float along on change and swear that I don't like it. It always seems to take me on a new adventure though.

Thank you for sharing.

Like this. You summed thing up in a tidy bit of wordplay, only leaving a bit of unraveling to be done by those so inclined.
