in a lonely world
of strangers
one bright moon

like hawks
among the clouds
so many dreams
gone without a trace

I send all my evening sorrows
down this Autumn river of
desolate silence

By the twilight-waters edge
an egret drinks the moon

among ten thousand
‘endless’ mountain peaks
one ancient mystic river

In the ‘book’ of rocks
a never-ending story___
boundless ages
of “Deep-Time”

cold-bright moon
imperfect mirror
of every dream
ever dreamed

By the long
abandoned
chapel ___
sunlight on
a broken bell

walking a Zen Tao
beyond past and future
there is only this moment
of the ‘now’ that is real

across too many miles
so much perfect beauty
in your heart and smile

so much love
then farewell
too many miles
of twilight sorrows

These are great, Bruce, like them all,

but in particular, these two:

cold-bright moon
imperfect mirror
of every dream
ever dreamed

By the long
abandoned
chapel ___
sunlight on
a broken bell

Somehow, the um...vision, resonates within...
