   A cloud-and-stream Life

A fine Spring moon, tipped
in a soft-twilight afterglow,
  touches all.
An evening breeze makes
the silvered shadows dance.
Sylvan serenity soothes the
restless mind and fills
the lonely Spirit-heart.
Here, all the wilderness
speaks in Zen whispers,
that this is a traceless
cloud-and-stream life,
nothing to cling to
but the certainty
of flux and change.
Nothing to ‘follow’
but a Tao of true
Love and gentle
   kindness.

     --- b. e. adams (here in the ever-fleeting' now')

Such pleasant thoughts you present here for us Bruce. Thought provoking and sensuous in the natural sense. Peacefulness, as reflected with your evoking of "Zen" and "Tao" remind me of my own quiet observations, one being that peace, in the human sense, is the absence of everything.

You're always a great read.

More feelings and fewer words please
