A Sudden Realization

In the clarity of darkness I often felt
a presence, in the old cottage’s living
room, I often paused and willed it to
take a form, a human shape, but no,
till a figure stood before me, darker
then the night, dressed in a cape and
veil, an epiphany had taken outline;

slowly the figure took its veil off and
I looked into a humbling nothingness
where all matters, are absorbed and
melted as no entity had ever existed.
The form too vanished and blended
with the night; linking me to life was
dawn’s light seeping down the skylight.
