I just had a religious experience
Everything that was everything decorated the skies
Life in all its glory and purpose
The sun shown in all too brilliant rays cascading sheets of pure light
Upon the animals, the faces, the millions of faces
The earth
Covered with mountains, canyons,
Gulfs streaming with storms
Oceans of life littering the spaces
Between wolves howling and grizzlies catching salmon
Leaping from fast flowing rivers
The trees and forests grow to such great heights
It’s beautiful
Too beautiful for my vocabulary
Lexis fail to describe in detail the pure extravagance of it all
The sun changed the hues of vast Eden
Spits of negatives and diluted colors
Welcoming all as one
Tired eyes from beauty’s light
Counterparts
The dark so dark that it was hard to focus on
Moving slowly like a monolithic sludge
Engulfing the light
Slowly
Till all was dark
Till all was dark
And good and evil existed as one
