July 11th, 1991

Time, as I felt it, stopped
   As the Sun gave up its power and waned
But for an interval. I was lost –
   Called away from the mundane.

Given like a vision from God –
   I was shown one of absence
Contrary to a comfortable thought
   But at the mercy of physics.

I am One with the Stars and Earth
   And all Things of eternity;
That doubt of universal birth
   Was overshadowed by gray reverie.
