Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. The theme for this week is Insight and Revelation, in honor of Epiphany,
which was celebrated on January 6.
I welcome comments on my poems at

A philosophical poem about the gifts of life and death:
Every moment sings with fascination
As silence sits behind the vivid veil.
There is no rock not rife with revelation,
Nor word that will not ultimately fail.
Likewise, we are masks upon the void,
Uncreated at our empty core,
Mirror of what cannot be destroyed,
The nothing that the thing is destined for.
The being of our being is delight;
The nothing of our nothing, pure perfection.
Just beyond our day is utter night;
Just within our heart, its blank reflection.
The gift of life brings joy well worth the pain;
The gift of death brings us home again.
