The sun rises at one end of the heavens… — Psalm 19:6
You passed through
a shower of leaves,
the light rising amid
the overhang of trees,
and I thought of heaven
in that ray-spark moment
when the sun sent
just enough light
to give this trellis
a halo, as if I could step
into a sacred grove just
a dimension over,
take a breath,
and find you again
on this side of living,
waiting for me, returned
like Lazarus.
