Fantasy of Introspection

Fog lay sheer upon the grass last night. Through the
shreds of evening, echoing as spirit tones across the
hill, came the lonely, resonant note of a night-bird's
plaintive call, in the far away a bell tolled...
solemn, slow, and sweet. Somewhere behind the
scuttling clouds a young moon rode...and I was
there alone. Yet what was I? What part of me was of
the bird-note or the bell...what part of me the mist that
shone as tears and what part of me the night? I was
severed into atoms and had become one with innumerable
others that knew more beauty than the whole of me
might ever know. Nothing surrounding me was entire,
complete, but merged into parts that broke and scattered and
formed again, yet left that which was me untouched.
With groping hands outstretched into magical nothingness
I waited...listening...feeling...yearning. The
moon cast no shadow, and the clouds became but dream
myths and faded into space. Perhaps it was a dream...
the night...the mist...the moon and I...Perhaps
a fantasy of thought that touched upon the invisible and
made of me a dream as well.

Rex,
it's always good to hear from you in post or repost. Have I told you lately I love your work. Well I do.

Hi Rex, nice to see you again. This is a very interesting story. And it kind of flows out as you read it.
Great one (of many)
