       A Moment of Love
        
What could be more pure and
   beautiful
than white-cotton cloud legions
marching through an endless
   azure sky,
a grand golden Summer sunset
slipping into the calm-bright sea,
the scent of jasmine and roses
floating on this soft twilight
   breeze,
a thousand silver moonbeams
shadow-dancing to the silent
music of wilderness and time …
even one moment of your
love, stolen from eternity,
far surpasses each of these,
and is worth so much more
than all the riches that have
   ever been.

Beautiful, my friend, but we got a thunderstorm today, which as hot and dry as it's been, was beautiful thing indeed.

Enjoyed.

Thanks so much ... to each of you fine folks!!

I've never quite figured out whether it is a magnificent curse ...
or a blessing ... to be a poet and 'incurable Romantic' ?!
(sure doesn't seem to 'fit well' with this double-post-modern world.)
