Illumination

Illumination

saw the clouds

ever-changing

as the sea

and there

the heavens

opened

in wonderment

for me

soften by the hue

and shredded by the wind

this brilliant bulb

on high

shone

by and by

and over yonder

fell a sheet of rain

mid downy pillows

where down

I lay

just a moment

so it seemed

when woken

by a rumble

framed in flashes

then the clouds

settled now

mid a mighty mast

and there I sailed

the silver sea

meant for you

meant for me

a promise

there was made

anew

all things past

a present

all things here

a gift

all things yet

a trove

this much

is all

I know
