brief meteor most might deem a life misspent… chasing formless shadows in the moonlit evening wind and ethereal phantoms in the boundless mountain mists along ever tenuous pathways of the breaking dawn, or following fading footsteps of the setting sun, seeking only with the light of gentlest compassion some 'true nature' of this world, forever lost to a deep-time dream… brief meteor in the endless void. --- b. e. adams (1/23/2010) [This message has been edited by secondhanddreampoet (01-23-2010 06:11 PM).] |

No life is never misspent, I believe, though it is indeed like a brief meteor (this awareness comes when we reach a certain age). The meaning may elude us most of the time, but we are all researchers of the truth and you have a quality of seeing and interpreting things in a profoundly touching way. Wonderful expressions, dear Bruce! Love, Margherita [This message has been edited by Margherita (01-24-2010 10:13 AM).] |

Some of those brief meteors create such beauty and joy that it lives on long after they are gone. Take this poem for example... Ida |

I have noticed that the moon and the stars have been especially bright of late. I'm not sure if those stars are twinkling or winking, but I do like to believe. *hearthugs* Bruce. |
