Late Night Meditation – a poem by Peggy Heitmann

Late Night Meditation
Dark and light, bad and good, are not different but one and the same.
										- Heraclitus:
The wooden bowl,	
hollow and full 
of golden light
bubbling over with radiant beams
to fill itself to the brim,
where shadows flirt  
and hide their wings 
seeking solace 
in the darkness
beneath the rim
of the wooden bowl.
