Eternity And Back

Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads. - Thoreau

stretching to eternity and back again

i see the dawn when it rubs its eyes and yawns

hear noon when it needs

feel the moon when it bleeds

drawing the curtain on another day

as it lies down and concedes

knowing heaven

as it dances and leads

scattering the last of its earthly seeds

Author's Note

"In any weather, at any hour of the day or night, I have been anxious to improve the nick of time, and notch it on my stick too; to stand on the meeting of two eternities, the past and future, which is precisely the present moment; to toe that line." - Thoreau
