“The robins are singing, The sun is plunging, The farmers are hearing the call of homecoming. On sunset-bathed grass, Dusk came like a friend. Should they stay or should they go? A vastness sprawls on the distant sky, The neighbor of soul, the faceless wisdom, And in that moment, life budded into the deep.. Could it be that grandeur is heaven, that which is beyond all knowing, beyond all thunder, beyond all darkness, beyond the opening and closing, beyond perfection and decay? Is this the hour of wisdom, awakened by sunset, where nothing rises or rushes, leaving the shores with light?”
