      All Things Passing
   (for a lady of my finest
      dreams)

A fine evening-crescent moon
paints the mountainous edge
of this vanishing wilderness
in silver-tipped shadows and
condensed moonlight on
frost and new-fallen snow
shimmering long on such a
    freezing night.
A chill North Wind makes
the bone-trees dance and
speaks through them its
     sad lament
on all things passing and
lost to the infinite void of
    deepest Time.
The forest seems empty but
for a lonely poet, a Winter hare
and all the hopes and dreams of
Spring and new love that walk
silently with one here in the
austere beauty and fleeting
moments of our brief-candle
    lives.

                      --- b. e. adams

Ah, you delved deeply into your vast knowledge of nature and its ways for this snapshot of a super poem, Bruce.

May those 'hopes and dreams' of new love come to fruition with the fresh and new Spring season Mr. Adams.

Inspiring poetry indeed!
