            True Value

By this woodland lake brim-
full with clouds and stars,
in these final mystic hours
of silently fleeting night and
dawn-expectations, when
everything seems perhaps
less real but far more pure
   by moonlight,
and all the trappings
from the day fade away
to vague memory-shadows
   of the mind,
the spirit-heart becomes
clear and certain as a high
   mountain spring
that even a single moment of
true and unconditional love
is worth the riches of all the
empires that have ever been.

Bruce, you have said a truth with this one. True love. A quest which is hard to find. Beautiful sentiments.
