     The Universal
  Scheme of Things

At the foot of a soft-
crimson setting sun
the violet twilight mist
spiral dances in a
slight Summer evening
breeze which tries its best
to ripple this mirror lake
of mountains, clouds,
and dreams to no avail,
as gently, gently a giant
moon rises to paint the
rocks and tree-shadows
in silver edged hues
of this nighttime realm,
when much of nature
seems to slip into
a ‘Deep-Time’ fantasy
of ten thousand
vanished worlds
that once had been.
What place has
human vanity,
greed, and folly
in such wilderness
or the universal,
eternal scheme
of things?

Again, Mr. B.E. Adams, you share the beauty that you see. How lucky are we??

Ahhh . . . Bruce, you paint your world in stunning hues and moonscape. You are lucky to be living in that wonderland of yours and we are lucky you pen these poems to tell us about it.
