we know not when the light will fade
we know not when the light will fade
so stand not hiding in the shade
go out, look up - enjoy the gifts
that God has placed up in the sky
for you to see.
it was my distinct pleasure to drive
last night at sunset, a brilliant pink
devouring the daylight. i paused to
marvel at the colors, the palette of which
we have no access. we are afterall, merely human.
then as the show faded into night, the Hunger Moon
replaced the west with east, the day with night
and the show continued. Hunger Moon hung low,
luminescent and huge. it bid good-bye to the day, and
heralded the beginning of night. the last for some,
i wondered who would not begin tomorrow; I?
no better day or night could i imagine, the brillant pink
and the luminecsent gold.
i pondered my life, my meaning, my impact. Good?
i surmised that we, mere humans can not control the
time or place. our ending is unknown. (and those who
do -- determine the end -- would surely steal the Will
of God from Him: doing so must certainly be a breach
of the covenant with Us for the gift of Life itself....)
no, we must not choose the time, or place, or manner of our
Death..we only have a right to choose its meaning.
