look forward to the realms beyond earth--
if your work is finished--withdraw--
if your love is spent--rest in your own weariness--
if your life is going--and it is--instant by instant--
then prepare for a longer haul you either
don't believe in while you're in flesh--
or mistaken for some comfortable picture
you have in mind--
truth may be relative and you'll feel entitled to your belief
but there is a place where all will be leveled
before an Absolute Reality--
the wise will let go of their imaginings and accept--
others will cling tighter to them and perish--
and the Ineffable--that King of the Disclaimer--
will do what you had no power to do--
for me--each sunset recalls so many others
each dusty day a continuation of One Ultimate Summer Day--
and high-piled thunderheads
glimmer darkly at the end of day--
for me--each moment brings me closer to an ultimate
and that is only the fruit of this earthly perspective--
whatever we go on to--it is still a long trek
to get back to from where we went out--
we keep going--knowing no other way...
