Into the Dark
Beyond the darkness
That everyone knows,
There’s a realm of light
Where no one goes.
No one gets past
The darkness deep,
For there the Dragon
Has his keep.
Should you wish
To reach the light,
You first must brave
The Dragon’s might.

Silence
I love the Holy Silence
Of our quiet house at night;
There's no talking,
There's no barking,
There is just the sheltering dark
With the Silence of one light.

Physics: Take One
I like the idea of an Echo
All the way back to the Bang,
Of Angels enjoying light matters,
Fore:
Light matters to all of His gang.
One of course can't just dust it off without reading the entries. My wife says I must move it because I don't use it. I don't use it frequently, but I do love having it close, my Dante Encyclopedia, along with several versions of the poem. Reading in it got me thinking and the next thing I knew, scratch paper was on the table (at my house scratch paper is called "clutter"!) and pen was in hand (at my house God knows I have way too many pens--10,000 at least--which I couldn't possibly use in a lifetime, so I am told). In any case, a new entry:

The Empyrean
Oh to bathe in the River of Light,
To secure a vision transcendent,
To see with clarity once in my life
All things with glory resplendent.
