• An Eternal Glimpse

  Life always seems so
  clear

  When we are lifted
  above our normal perspective

  By being immersed
  deeply within its turbulence.

  It is then that we
  capture a glimpse of eternity

  Its sheen of ethereal
  value.

  We compare it to the
  things in our lives

  As we might compare an
  ant bite to an infant’s birth

  And ever so briefly we
  catch hold of understanding.

   

  To seek wisdom in life
  is to pursue those moments

  And covetously
  grasp to the understanding they give

  Lest we loose it when
  we return once more

  To the froth of
  everyday tide.
