            Rain and Tears

Soft-dark shadows dance
this silent moonlit forest
to the ‘Deep-time', night shade
  moonbeam chorus
beneath a dimming star
invisible with the dawn ...
(failed compass of the last
vast-unbroken wilderness.)
We are but passing travelers
like the ephemeral morning mist
in this land of fragile loves
  and fading dreams
too easily lost to rain or tears.

Ah, Bruce, you snuck in a tear-jerker on us. Such beautiful poetry in advance of the heartbreak hill we all have climbed during our lives.

Each raindrop and tear is a lovely blending.

And still we cry and wonder why, but I like to think that somewhere in the mix is a silver lining.
