Impulse
You feel it sometimes,
a slight twitch of the soul
(though you don't know
yet you are part eternity),
all you can see is the mud
and sweat of earth days--
but if you try, really try to
raise your soul, you might
feel it rise in your time-
bound body as it seeks
to sing and soar and see
the brightness of Heaven.
