Some things are no more.
There are no dark corridors of the soul,
No hidden corners of the mind,
No secret sorrows that fester in solitary recognition.
There is no lingering shadow
Cast over the simple joys of life,
Blocking out sweet shards of light.
Everything is clear and brilliant,
Immense in its own right,
Unfettered by size or shape or form.
Each simple object, concept, word
Becomes a unique and precious gem
When bathed in the light
Of a newly created miracle.
