Vision

A warm maize glow 
greeted fluttering lids
as the first rays
of Sunday 
defined time.

There on the 
bedroom ceiling,
a vision and
the answer 
to life’s mysteries;
the universe
revealed.

Past childhood,
beyond adulthood,
and into golden days,
I realize all of life
is reduced 
to one 
exclusive
moment…

waking.
