        Dare To Love Again

You are the deepening twilight,
just beyond the gentle sunset
   and blue moon rising
   (the “lover's moon"),
amid galaxies dancing
forever through the
star-swept sky,
a loveliest reason for me
   to ‘be’
in now and future time,
with all darkness of
the past forgotten.
Drink deeply from the well
of trust, that shall never run
dry, and dare to love again.
Like the stars, clouds, wind,
   and Summer rain,
my love would remain always …
as perennial as the grass.

                --- b. e. adams (7/9/2017)

I love your last line, Bruce. The rest of your poem is first rate.

thank you, Alana !

(too bad though, that such li'l "word-paintings" typically have
no positive nor lasting effect on the person they are actually
written to/for/about)
