On this
the year's ending day
our news is filled
documenting highlights:
another year approaching
its end..

Then from a friend
comes the photo above
and a question that leaps:
whether this image is
sunbreak or sunset..
Perhaps
we should demand
at least for a while
to know only that
this miraculous photo
images..yes.. both..!

Now returning to
what's in the news
portraying each year
the sharp knife
of time
splitting and separating
in seeming truth..
Yet knowing now that
this timely photo
points to our longing
to something we seek...!**

Thanks, Elaine..
