I am in being
Tomorrow is becoming
Now is in passing
The Papa smiles and
The wisdom of Sofia
Is in his aura
In a tiny church
I lit a candle and prayed
For those who suffer
It flickered beside
Other diminishig flames
And danced in the dark
And spent wick littered
The eternal sand-filled font
Glittering gold-leaf
The eclipse is a
Shadow at the edge of dark
Where light is dissolved
