shadows

sailed off into
the edge of white
tumbled in darkness
floating images recur
cold illumination
of a future not to be
keeping faith
the answer to a question
to strive to do right
as everything points left
pick up the broken pieces
move on to the next phase
the edge of black and white
is a figmentary place
people grow up, move on
while the earth waits,
healing
