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

We all wonder about God, death and an after life. These are some of the answers I have
reconciled in my musing.
