The Long Sun

by estory

Years, decades, centuries, milleniums
eons of ages. Threads of sunlight
unroll overhead
spinning hydrogen into helium
helium into argon
argon into oxygen
oxygen into neon and carbon
strands stretching
suspended
and unravelling
before the beginning
and after the end
eternally woven
into the Word
remaining
after all else passes
through the eye of a needle
into a new earth
a new heaven
unrolling and unrolling
like the fantastic visions of tapestries
oriental rugs, prayer flags
in the light
of the long sun

This free verse piece was meant to be a tribute to the artwork of
Anna Arborg and her amazing colored silk thread pieces I got a chance to see at the Raleigh Contemporary Art Museum a couple of years ago. I was very impressed with her Long Sun. So I tried to capture that feeling of waves or threads of sunlight overhead, stretching through the elements born in the sun's nuclear reactions, elements that give us life and mark time. Also I put in this sense of the supernatural connection of the physical to the spiritual, the image of the sun as a symbol for Christ, for the reinvention of the world in another form, the creation of a new earth and a new heaven as described in Revelations. I wanted a free flowing, open ended form, a framework for the articulation of eternity and creation. It was fun to write and I hope you enjoy it. estory
