       karma winds (#2)

Old, lost-forest road swept
clean by pure moonlight.
Tiny creatures of the night,
veiled in velvet mountain
  shadows,
sing a universal refrain
to deep, inscrutable time.
The cool-wind surprise
hints of impending
and immortal flux,
down the ever-rolling years
  of seasons changing.
At this edge of life’s abyss
lies the cosmic event horizon
where stars hang free and
our finest dreams take wing ...
on karma winds.

Man, this is one of your very best poems in my opinion. You always give the reader plenty of color and descriptive lines which enrich your poems dramatically.

However, this one goes a couple of steps beyond your usual excellent norm. There is a whispering of the locale, the moon, the tiny creatures of the night, the . . . Hell, just everything. It's as if your Muse guided your fingers, and the Muse itself was guided by this faint, timorous whispering I spoke of. Impressive and absolutely wonderful poetry. Again, in my opinion, one of your best . . .
