Epiphany

Contest- Epiphany- sponsor- Constance La France 8/16/86 


Imagine a moment of clarity
when the mind opens to understand
and every experience becomes a memory
carried as a new one forms
each word, each action a constant thread
of seconds replayed in silence
when time seems still and each breath has already passed
where tomorrow stays forever out of reach
always ahead of you, as you move through the now
passing into yesterday like waves disappearing
in the sand as you move toward the final sunset
holding all your yesterdays in the silent realm of time
that you have passed through

Oh this.. felt like an ebb and flow of moments on the shore of life ~ gosh, how beautifully evocative and thought-provoking dear Frederic! "when time seems still and each breath has already passed" I felt the clarity and soothing essence in that stillness.. "in the sand as you move toward the final sunset" wow, couldn't have said any better! Such a profound, soul-stirring and philosophically deep write this is! Reflecting on all the seconds gone by and as tomorrow seems out of reach... How wonderfully you've woven this! Always a pleasure reading your words, sending you light and best wishes always ~ 💫💫🍂🍂
