later on...

i stopped the car ten feet from the shoreline
and left the lights on, walking into their pathway,
into the thick fog
as a giant sphere
formed in front of me,
and i stopped in wonder,
listening to the waves wash up on shore:
my head said,
"miracle"
my body said,
"don't get too close"
and
my soul said - "why do you not recognize me?"

finally walking back to the car
i turned the lights out and stood
in the dark
in that silence
broken only by the surf
lapping at the wild rocky shore,
and i marveled -
i wondered -
and stayed just long enough
to paint a picture in my mind
made of magic and
spheroids and
You...
