Northward the twilight thro dark drifts
Of cloud-wreck lingers cold.
Southward the sated lightning sinks
Beneath the wooded wold.
Eastward immovable deep shade
Is sealed with mystery.
Westward a memory of dead gold
Wakes on a sunset sea.
Under, is earth’s still orbiting;
Over, a clearing star:
In all, the spirit litany
Of life’s strange avatar.
(Cale Young Rice)
