Afterglow Ii

Day fades quickly into night. I try, but cannot fight. Life wanes with no respite, I pass into the light. Far below, I hear the roar of waves that brace the shore. I pass the lofty eagle’s soar. God calls, I am no more. Instead, I pass with awe and grace, through time and finite space. I am a form, no shape, no face. Yet, not alone in this strange place. Within myself, I feel god hover. I am my wife, my child, my brother. I am the love of father and mother. I am myself alone, yet altogether, one another © Feb 20 2010 Charles Henderson. We all wonder about God, death and an after life. These are some of the answers I have reconciled in my musing.
