A Ghost In The Sunset   2 comments

The Ghost of Brother Tom At Sunset — Image by kenne

Brother Tom at Sunset

Long white beard—
ghost in the low light,
edges blurred,
dust lifting from stone.

He stands quiet,
as if listening
to the earth breathe.

Sky bleeds orange,
then violet—
a spirit walking
the shore line.

Morning Awakens

Morning awakens the light
Slowly stirring the heart
Revived from the sleeping night
By a singing meadowlark.

Accounting for the moment
Can we ever know
How age built a monument
From what it doesn’t show?

I don’t mind
As long as you know
I will make it shine
By allowing time to slow.

Sailboat fades away

Anchored in the setting sun

Too abstract to see.

“Be patient toward all that

is unsolved in your heart

and try to love the questions themselves,

like locked rooms and like books that

are now written in a very foreign tongue.

Do not now seek the answers,

which cannot be given you because

you would not be able to live them.

And the point is,

to live everything.

Live the questions now.

Perhaps you will then gradually,

without noticing it,

live along some distant day

into the answer.”

— Rainer Maria Rilke
(from Tom Turner’s book of quotes and notes)
