        On Radiant Wings

Beneath a bright-white moon
and Venus rising to a
lucent-twilight cicada song
of life and Summer passing
into the eternal ‘Deep-Time’
     void of non-return,’
in these unguarded and pensive
moments when one must shadow
     -dance
with legions of memories, dreams,
      and regrets
of all the ‘should-have-beens,’
the heart and spirit may be as
     yet set free
from the mind-shackling darkness
     of the past
by the infinite hope and promise
of one last, best chance for
a  healing and glorious dawn
in which a beautiful new love is
the incandescent Phoenix rising
on radiant, quivering wings
to greet the morning star.

              --- b. e. adams (ever the 'Romanticist' first and foremost) (8/19/2013)

Enjoyed as usual. I think the secret of life is to be content with what one has. Never lose hope of course but too much hope for something else to "save us" can blind us to the little things in life that though small are nevertheless significant - yes, like the blue pages.

I don't feel there is ever a "one last chance," Bruce, except when we are lying comatose in some nursing home from hell somewhere. From personal experiences I found that one when I was already too old to think it would ever come, she was the same way. By the way I had to change my name again, I'm JerryPat2.
