          Gypsy Moon

The clear-bright eastern moon
floats among these gentle hills
across this sunset-mirror lake,
(parting silent shadows and the
   evening wind)
its soft light broad and healing,
illuminating the farthest reaches
of the empty forest, troubled
    mind and heart,
offering tender comfort
    without pretension,
then simply journeys on
in eternal westward wander ...
following the footsteps
  of the sun.

                  ---b. e. adams (1/9/2016)

An extraordinarily engaging poem Mr. Adams. Your sensitivity to the wonders surrounding you and your ability to relate it never fails to please.

Here's to you and here's to me and should we ever disagree, here's to me!

I always plunge gratefully into your beautiful and serene atmospheres, Bruce.

Wondrous scenery.

Thank you so much, Mr. M. & Margherita !

My intent is typically to try to give fine 'voice' to Gaia
(and to the appreciation and stewardship of Nature) in
the cascading natural imagery with (hopefully) some
philosophic message surfing on top of that imagery.

A lovely one, Bruce!
I can see the picture,
and I always liked your serene style.
Thank you for sharing!

I like Mr. Martini and you and your beautiful poems. He's really a nice guy like you are. I'll read you some more later!

It was just a thought which made them run. It was just an act that killed them.

Truly a lovely read SHDP, and the only one of yours I've read that does not contain the word 'love' in it.

However, the content is filled to overflowing with it.

Thanks so much to each and all of you for commenting on this lil' "poetic scribble!" ...

my "CoNFuter" (that's short for "CoNFuse and conquer") has been 'down and out' for a
week; so I was only just now able to access this website and read your comments ...

This took me to another time and place and I sat daydreaming for the longest time missing what was but grateful to have had it.

Thank you for writing this! I loved my moment!
