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.
