History's Elegy--A Paeon To Monism

Slipping through the fingers of my mind, all those vague perceptions of the "I" inside this body will provide a strange parade behind the mirror of my life. If I have learned from growing old, the fallacy of endless plodding from one victory until the next-- celebrating notches carved down to that last bouquet upon my grave, then it's no journey after all, but an immersion into truth. Make of the day, the captaincy of night, a starship traveling from light to light when time is one. Let wonder settle in where hammer blows are dieing. Stand off upon the crest of doubt and watch creation groan, a universe in manifest; see the one, the present moment coalescing in our hands, for that is where the glory lies. That is where the resurrection waits, and only there beside the hidden God the Alleluias ring. ~
