The wrathful, empathetic, joyous and sorrowful angels,
Have now resided within the souls of all earthly beings.
While this psyche does not operate within your linear time,
I have witnessed 'this brighter darkness' at close proximities,
With eyelids semi-transparent, elemental, an adjustment.
These Angels have taught me, how to climb into galaxies.
Their vision is a circumnavigation of time, relaying back to us
A complex past, where many doors were slamming shut.
But you walked as you were, eclipsing a horizon,
Until you became the land that I found myself in.
It was early evening when the sun emerged again.
It was the light of creation that shone past all surfaces.
If only we could look directly at it, for longer periods.
The older forests within us trembled.
For a moment it was like a darkness.
But the sun's edge shone as eternity.
I knew that we would travel further.
Have you heard a young angel sing, magnificently innocent?
Take my hand, I will lead you to the land, where you dream,
Until all within that place, are no longer symbols or visions.
A brief darkness only illuminates what was temporarily lost.
For these small twilights at midday, will pass into brightness.
Angels have explained these eclipses to the gentler children,
By spreading out their gargantuan wings,
They have philosophised over other meteorological events.
They are a brighter light shining onto our faces.
They are comforted by galaxies, afar and adrift.
Our home for now, is the distant blue planet.
Where the sun is only momentarily diminished.
These eclipses will happen across the cosmos,
- to the point of intelligence, and may
even be trying to communicate with us -
I cannot explain, all that I know in words.
The enormity of this can only be wordless.
Our existence is linked to this deepest process,
On a trajectory, that may lead us into despair.
But since looking into the sun,
I am able to face the brilliance of a perfect day
Without squinting or blindness.
Eclipse: its shadow will reach you in the present,
Where regardless of a time frame for a reference,
The possibilities for a light beyond it, are endless.
It was only that I lost you to 'the bright dark' so fast.
But if would you put your love into action on Earth,
I will not let you be anything less than yourself.
