Eons Passed

Eons passed

I look at the world

through crystal eyes

seeing many reflections

of the people I have been

time weaving trails of wandering memories

deep in the dark empty space …

on the windswept edge of a great fresh lake

I balance on the razor edge of fate

falling, falling, down into the tunnel of life

downward

awaiting an opening on the other side

of life

The other side of life.
