After Shadows, sculpture in steotite (1998) by Bozena Happach


Poem Artwork


Divinity is like water.
Finding the nadir of being,
it cannot retreat any further...
It casts no shadows on oceans of existence.

And life is like a river.
Ever descending towards the endless ocean,
it rises––towards realms of higher beings.
When we no longer draw on tributary currents
all that remains are shadows––
––floating on path left behind.

Divinity is here to stay always. It cannot be washed away with water. Life is like a river flowing endlessly towards God and our future home in heaven.

I love the flow of this poem - Life is like a river.....all that remains are shadows as it swiftly glides to meet eternity's immeasurable tides
