July 11th, 1991

Time, as I felt it, stopped

   As the Sun gave up its power and waned

But for an interval. I was lost -

   Called away from the mundane.

Given like a vision from God -

   I was shown one of absence

Contrary to a comfortable thought

   But at the mercy of physics.

I am One with the Stars and Earth

   And all Things of eternity;

That doubt of universal birth

   Was overshadowed by gray reverie.
