   One Moment of Your Love

A brief November gale
drives shredded clouds
past a shimmering
silver-saucer moon
and stirs this cold forest
in a final rain of Autumn
  leaves,
as a thousand barren
trees shadow-dance
with a memory wind
through these ancient
‘endless’ hills of Winter
  calling.
Here, the mind brims Zen clear
as these woodland waters …
that our final destinies and
destinations remain uncertain.
How many seasons of light and
  dark
until we reach the very end ...
yet of what great matter now
is the sum of all worldly fears,
  cares, and losses
against even one moment of
  your love?

The loves of our lives. That could be the name of a soap opera. Heck, maybe it is. Still, the loves of our lives are forever etched into our memories. And they are all special.

Love your poem, Bruce!
Especially the ending )
"yet of what great matter now
is the sum of all worldly fears,
cares, and losses

your love?"
Indeed!

And so too, if only one moment of that love seems threatened, then we cease to see all that is beautiful around us.
