Bright lights illuminate our path. But they also can cast shadows upon our life.

 

We question what is happening. And we become enmeshed in . . .

 

 

An Aura Of Mystery

 

We looked

out the window

and couldn’t believe

what we saw.

Three companions,

joined at the hip,

wondered about what

we’d just witnessed.

We’d never seen

anything like it before.

We looked

at the each other

and bowed

our heads

in reverence

to the aura—

a colorful life force

surrounding us.

What it meant,

we had no idea—

an aura of mystery.

Had we caused it?

We didn’t know.

This luminous radiation

grew stronger,

as we cringed

in fear,

kneeling

before the window.

Was there a message

being shared with us?

Did it portend

a future

of happiness

or misery?

Maybe we were meant

to look inward,

not outward,

to find the answer.

And so we did,

taking a chance

that following the light

would lead

to a new day

and a new path

of discovery.

We opened

the window

to our souls

and embraced

what we saw.
