  Music of a Summer night

Tall trees and 'endless' hills
brush the traceless clouds
that flow forever through
the pure blue immensity
of this late Summer afternoon,
as another day slides toward
   sunset
and down the rolling years
of ever-changing seasons.

By this stony mountain stream
in the deepening forest cool
one can taste all the simple
joys of wilderness serenity
and deep-time passing,
until the siren call of twilight
beckons a grand full moon
to climb the endless dome of
   tremulous stars
with the music of the night
of a thousand infinitesimally
small and hidden, wondrous
   things
that no man shall ever own.

              --- b. e. adams

So happy that man cannot really own the beauty of the world think what they are doing to it now. Beautifully written as always. jo
