                 The second 
              shape of being it 
           exists attached close 
             visible or invisible. 
                 It is construct 
                      of frail  
light rays and the shadow changes the 
original shape as the creator illumines
              brightly from place
               to place in space
                 and from point
                 to  point in the  
             specific span of time.
           Living in distant past far
            from the diffused light
            the formless shadows
            melting in deep  time
            drowns the static life.
          Light of gleaming hope
          from a future  invisible
          forms alluring shadows
          lengthening   with time
           carved in      contours
           of dream       float on
           reality of       present.
           God lights         from above
                 the shadow       undefined
                           lasting in       absolute time
                                       is absorbed in life divine
                                                takes shape in the present
                                                           He constructs for all of us
                                                                                    the destiny 
                                                                                              follows
