Phenomena I Have Met

I think of all those flashing, fleeting images that many of us see, unheralded and undesired; I think they are those "flickerings of presence" poet Robert Gibb must have also known... and yet not these alone. For I remember too, the messages revealed to me from hands beyond the grave. I have seen them with my eyes, saved them for years, and kept them in my mind and heart until the day I'll seem to graduate from earth's dark coil, into the realms of light. And there are more just past the curtain of our pasty consciousness that shine on us with an intensity undreamed. Their presence, visible and those not yet disclosed presage a zeal which tantalizes to be sure, but also sets in stone awareness and compulsion that the fabled heaven and earth are here and now...one doorway, hearth and home. ~
