         The Greatest Gift

Beneath a supernal vault of vast
    and starry midnight-blue,
just beyond the toilsome, troublous
world of men’s quiet desperations,
on this lucent forest evening of
  these fleeting Summer days,
moonlit shadows phantom-dance
with traceless wisps of twilight mist
through the ancient ‘endless’ hills
   of deepest time;
and ones thoughts and dreams,
transcend all that is sad, grim,
  and commonplace
to celebrate the grandest human gift ...
  the gift of Love.

...yes, and that "gift" is the power that indeed, "transcends" all strife and sufferings. Very well said Bruce and very well 'penned'.

Loving Linny Jean is poetry.

You may only have one subject, but you certainly give your passion to the reader.
