SHADOW INTO LIGHT      

 
like stars            
we all            
come            
and go            
begin            
and end            
pulled from            
mystery            
into form            
into beauty            
into pain            
into pleasure            
into suffering            
then back            
into            
sweet mystery            
again            
again and            
again            
like lapping            
sea tides            
like falling            
rain            
like grains            
of sand            
wherein          
each being          
each thing          
recycles through          
an infinite        
refrain        
herein        
this sacred        
song        
of source        
wherein        
each lifes        
deep question        
life itself          
still ultimately        
remains      
evidential        
answer enough        
to justify        
its mysteriously        
wondrous        
journey s  
experientially valid  
existential reason    
for my simply
being here
much less
for my even
ever having
lived  been
or existed
at all
