Light Breaks The Sky

We dwell in half-light, disbelief,

a frenzied puzzling over things,


while ghosts draw close;

cloak themselves in flesh

to speak a word.


Our hearts,

more furtive, invisible,

disclosing less than silence,

do not decry

from their indifferent posts.


They have no stake.


Only sometimes strange wonders stir our sleeps,

and for those moments we seem to awaken.


Light breaks the sky

and beauty is miraculous.
