All souls

Have you sat in the evening

with the sun going down

Maybe with the

curtains drawn?

As the light empties and

flees your grasp and

darkness enters

the room.

Have you seen the shadows slant

as they move almost alive and

wondered if there was

some connection.

How is it that there are moments

such as the fleeing light in

evening that makes a

Stop, in your life?

A barely perceptible knowing

that there’s more than

meets the eye

here under

heaven.

A palpable sense that you

could grasp the last rays

and hold a moment

regardless of the

flight of time.

I mean at that moment an

essence is with you, even 

though some will

deny such.

Because you feel it, the lurch

of the earth through

the space-time

foam.

And you know that you too are

traveling like the light

to the same source,

as all souls.
