Glimmer
In today's glimmer
Is the flight of an escaping heart
Fleeing an eclipsing past
Searching for a worthy soul
With whom to ponder
The musings of a wonderous universe.
In tonight's shimmer
Is the return of a hoping spirit
Seeking silently for a friend
To brave the depths of these blackest holes
A courageous venture of light
Into the dark night of an unknown galaxy.
Tomorrow's mummering
May herald the end of thankless yearnings
A time to pause...
Finally to face that day
When we can release into doom
Frantic fretting and tiresome frowning
So in mysterious history
Remains our still steadfast faith
That in truths still hidden
Lie safe the birth secrets of life
Beauties concealed beyond ancient time
Enfolded in this moment
Pulsing, spirited, and precious
The life-giving gasp of a first breath
