[hometext] => I wrote this about an experience I had during a retreat.
[bodytext] => We stumble down the darkened path Through the trees, down the steps The light of a cell phone to guide us Eager for a midnight adventure We arrive at the shore And stand staring out at the water The night sky comes out at last, Reveals a million billion stars, as if some Deity tripped, spilling glitter across the universe. Moon, floating up there, tries her best, Shining in place of the sun, can only faintly Reveal the lake, and nothing else. Sitting on a cold wooden bench, We listen to the background, Absolute silence Broken only by the waves As they reach the shore. We get up, hesitate a second, Wander towards the cabins Numb from the cold, proof that we were there.
