Poem: Not Eternal

Not eternal

Quiet.
An unnatural hush.
Dim lights

Frightening.
Promising.
A space filled

with contradictions,
like life,
like love, 

like yourself,
and
all you know.

The picture was taken in the chapel store at St Barts in New York City. I loved the chapel itself, but it was the bookstore that really sang to me. You can click on the picture for a larger version.
