Terry D's writing has often left me speechless...here's something from the 27th of September this year...<BR><BR><BR><BR>Darkness ceased into a glimmering twilight,.. twilight passed its delicate hand upon Mother Earth... the world renewed with an innocent vigor. Or, rather, renewal, more marvellous, re-awakend each of us?<BR><BR>Soft light, barely sufficient to make a sky, emanated through air, within flower, over each blade of grass,.. light, tremulous, vivified skin and shell, husk and hair,.. unveiling everything, anything, each leaf, feather, dew-drop, gust of wind. All visible with unworldly perception... either by a nether-light that poured from them, as fire from cosmic orb,.. or by inner-twilight that glowed of our eyes, of our recognition. Nothing cast a shadow, within, without...<BR><BR>Dancers of color and hue, things were things no more... interchanging memories of light. Things, ever growing, things ever showing, shape and colour, ethereal form and substance, became idea indwelling... what each was, was all being. And what was memory, was now revealed.<BR><BR>With our feet bare, we are in love with tended lawn and free pasture. As toes touch grass, naked, moist, soft... every plant, each world, being, life, unite within tender step and we are one. Micro, macro are at length atoned, harmonious, blended into supernal light! Bare foot, tickled toe discover life renewed with each step. This dance enters and enlivens with its light-hearted syncopation. This dance of twilight is Awareness. <BR><BR>Knowing life at once, knowing whence we came, to be there and at home as well... alive, cognizant that life is dancing through all.<BR><BR>Sense after sense, hitherto somnolent, awakes with each step... sense after sense incredible, bereft of description, heedless of words, reveals without description. Expansive recognition, ever making heart to receive, sight to consume and be consumed with hungry apprehension,.. that consciousness entering, when doorway opens and all are one. That twilight moment when breeze brushing lips of flower petal, is our breath, our unspoken yearning... when wing of flight is tinkling bell. We are that exquisite joy of the bell, we are taht release of breeze. Each becomes glad-union, every becomes you. The Abode of being becomes a temple of revel, a tabernacle of joyous revelation. <BR><BR>We are a peaceful ocean... <BR>Wave swells with continual thrill <BR>of ever lifting wave...<BR>Life is a cosmic dance.... <BR><BR>Realize that light and life and truth lovingly glow with the twilight of our eye's glance. Each dancing Elemental, mere and pure, is in itself bliss... when not blissful, not light, Element is but mirrored reflection-in-darkness. Inspiration is recognition, that dark breeze is were-shadow, that singing flight is a universal sigh of thanks-union. <BR><BR>Dawn's Herald, is auroral wind <BR>softly reminding, <BR>luminously recollecting, <BR>sweetly urging memory... <BR>Awareness' approaches. <BR><BR>Each prismatic ocean wave <BR>of scarlet and orange <BR>and crimson and gold, <BR>transforms aloft into below... <BR>horizon into footfall. <BR>With Dawn's rising, <BR>every little flower <BR>straightens its slender neck, <BR>stalk uplifted, <BR>head outstretched, expectant... <BR><BR>Something more glorious than Dawn, <BR>more crystaline than light, <BR>is approaching... <BR>Love Himself! Life Herself!<BR>They ever near, <BR>as the necks of all things, <BR>the stalk of human-kind <BR>reach out to see Mother-Father parade!<BR><BR>Childlike we dance, <BR>with beast and forest, <BR>garden and starlight! <BR><BR>Flutter on butterflies, <BR>dream dragonflies <BR>hover cloudlike, <BR>colour the sky <BR>with raining acceptance, <BR>spectrum awareness <BR>with infusing unity... <BR><BR>Dance on the new earth, <BR>frolic under the new heaven, <BR>discover them <BR>Visit that old friend, <BR>who has opened conversation, <BR>revealed heart, <BR>and we gaze deep within. <BR><BR>Dance now, dance free, <BR>dance onward into what was <BR>and ever will be.<BR>Fluttering wings in forest <BR>uplift soaring heart. <BR><BR>Heart and embowered canopy <BR>become haven, <BR>betwixt leaf and wing <BR>the uplifting air revels <BR>within and without... <BR>Butterfly Garden is an aerial vault, <BR>where children fly <BR>and elders dance, <BR>and memories eternal awaken, <BR>as if by twilight's chance....<BR><BR><BR>and then his poem, "Mere Moments"<BR><BR>In violence they disappeared from our earthly touch...<BR>yet, ever-new, eternal, they linger<BR>and rejoice in the Haven of Grace...<BR>Sob in earnest this day.<BR>We ache, for the pain is too much...<BR><BR>Gaze backwards through memory's haze,<BR>Look forward, toward assured embrace,<BR>They await, ethereal essence,<BR>We are waiting, earthly dross...<BR><BR>Faithful the moment, when we will rejoin them...<BR>with infinite songs, unlimited hope and joyous hugs.<BR>Celestial distance will never diminish,<BR>the fire of love from season’s past…<BR>Look deeply in the mirror,<BR>those we care for are ever near.<BR>Within the Fabric of Love,<BR>we all have our part...<BR>Hand in hand and heart to heart.<BR><BR>Mere moments, and they were taken...<BR>Hearts cried in thousand-voiced chorus,<BR>Momentarily caught, eternally released,<BR>into starlight and song...<BR>For us, they will ever belong.<BR><BR>Mere moments, and we were shaken...<BR>Remaining temporarily in this shadow play.<BR>Mere moments and we will be taken.<BR>Claiming companions that seemed lost on the way.<BR><BR>We will soon lift our voices together,<BR>we will soon be enveloped in song.<BR>Soon, the comfort, the presence of reunion<BR>and those we love, never truly gone,<BR>will guide us into the Ethereal Garden,<BR>where we remain, always near, never gone.<BR><BR>We will never have to remember,<BR>too dear to ever forget,<BR>this fated, distorted September,<BR>too near the awful regret.<BR>Linger with hearts, soft and tender,<BR>in arms loving, held, ever close.<BR>Eternal our sharing entwines us<BR>Infinite companions ever-yet....<BR><BR>To the fallen, hail!<BR>To those who remain...<BR>Let sadness rend our hearts of tears,<BR>so that hope and peace<BR>will companion our remaining years.<BR><BR>Forgive us all, Lord.<BR><BR>Hope ya don't mind, Terry..<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif"border=0><BR><BR>Man!!
