a koaning
when you arrive at tomorrow's morning
you will have no points of reference
yet you will not be lost -
somewhat illumined, somewhat at peace:  
if while you are in today's noon
learning all points of view
accepting being lost -
not illumined, nor at peace: 
you remember your distant yesterday's evening
and the many points of light
that illuminated
the dimensions of your life.
and consider each tomorrow's evening
each yesterday's morning
and each night's dreaming
but new points of light.
A young associate learning to distinguish between
the light and the darkness in his life,
and somewhat facinated by the darkness.
