THE AFTERWARD.

The kiss of dawn is on the sea:
The early matin singers rise
And send their songs up to the skies
Reaching the heights where l would be.
My day is like the sea. Its face
Is tranquil as a gray toned lake
Quiet, eventleSs, soft with grace.
I know ere night the storms may break,
Yet trustfuly l sail away
Toward the East, TO meet my day,
And leave the Afterward with God.
The last glad sound of daytime dies,
Fades from the the last red light
And I go down into the night;
While not a star shines from the skies.
My boat is trembling from its leap
Into the dark. The sea makes moan
Can It be safe to fall asleep
In this strange darkness and alone?
But 1 am tired of life's long quest,
So close my eyes and take my rest
And leave my Afterward with God.
