Two new, old poems. David Becoming As I watched the stars fall from the sky, I knew instantly that heaven was gone forever. Before dawn, when it had become clear that far is near and beyond is within, I was embraced by a Holy Mystery the filled me with awe, took my breath away, and opened the floodgates of my heart. Now when I listen to the silence, and look past the brilliance of the sun, trying to imagine before the beginning and beyond the edge of everything, I am certain that the becoming we were called to be before time began will be fulfilled in us today. Natural Miracles Our struggle to become ourselves is an act of creation. Our engagement in life energizes human evolution. Our care for one another expands the universe. It is a natural miracle that Being evokes tears of gratitude, silence offers a warm embrace and darkness invites us to music and dance. — "Mystery, possibility, and the power to choose" David Dunn 740 S Alton Way 9B Denver, CO 80247 720-314-5991 dmdunn1@gmail.com
