the day we draw our last breath

and our eyes stare into the vastness of nothing,

water will still flow downhill

sunrise will follow sunset

the moon will wax and then wane

a new life will be the reward for our surrender,

delighting the hearts of some other family

nothing we can say, or do, or believe will change this

free me from the smallness of belief

expand the constriction of thought

remove “I and thou”

take me to a place where mountain

sky

grass and I

simply be

Decemberit calls to something deep within us—

this land so

vast

pristine

and remote

from the world of human affairs

[if !supportEmptyParas] 

here time reigns as

master of eons,

the life of man a shooting star—

lighting the night sky for an instant only,

then no more
