          A Single Dream

In this ancient forest world
of endless hills, free-floating
clouds and ancestral shadows
dancing  forever along the
pathways of eternity  through
a grand unbounded star-tipped
   sky,
during these magical moonlit
moments just before dawn,
along this woodland stream
that seeks forever its freedom
   in the wide wild sea,
the wind through the willows
seems to softly sing fragments
of some old Celtic tune of
fleeting life and love and
all things passing down
the endless march of years
through the corridors of Time ...
Time that waits for no one
  and returns for none.
Why bother with the
grasping world of men?
Unhitch your heart and spirit
and dare to stir the universe
with a single dream

What would we be without the dream? This is a soul song. Beautiful.

Lovely, Bruce!

"Unhitch your heart and spirit
and dare to stir the universe
with a single dream."

I did that once and the universe just rolled over and went to sleep again.

Many thanks to each of you!

... however, since typically very few folks comment on my humble lil'
'scribblings,' it is most likely well past the time for me to depart this
scene (and allow 'the universe' to go back to sleep)

Bruce - Please don't be discouraged by the lack of replies.  There may be many who read but don't have the time to fully engage.  That happens to me sometimes but I do always pop in for a read.
