Unmanifest Memory

2002 © Shelia S. Massey


Mind matter slipping beyond the edge of earth boundary,
Far from home, abandoned by body,
I wander through layered fauna, delicate twirls of fern,
wrapped round a memory yet to be heard.
 
It whispers of peace; the canopy of leaf above me echoes this whisper in waves.
 
It says with firmness: 'there is a day when peace will reign'; in affirmation the wind falls still.
 
Filtered sun rays, in spun-gold filaments spiraling outward, promise:
'no one shall be forsaken.'
 
I rest assured in unmanifest memory.
