Going and Comming

one mans sunset is another mans dawn every second of the day lives on and on dawn is a traveler traveling from east to west bringing light to a world darkness has left decending and emerging at the same time insignificant man fooled by his eye's the earth has a shadow but we call it night it's fought by the moons reflected light but in the darkness we see the stars other planets in space telling where we are constant rotations on a scale so large days and seasons so near so far days months and years before and behind at birth a mystery but now eternity in my mind

this stuff is on a whole other level of conciousness. and spoken so plane and true that it lights up the darkest minds with knowledge of what they seemingly already know. T. S.

John, you might enter this one in the oxymoron contest. Sorry I've been so tied up lately. Just helped Joyce Johnson post her first contest. Hope you'll support it and enter. Miss you, dear friend. Love, Carolyn
