There is something about the form in silhouette that we like to see.
We don’t always want to see each of the particulars.
But the simple thing, the form,
Cast upon the backdrop
Of evening colors
Is beautiful.
Why is that?
Perhaps it is because peace lies
In swallowing the whole
To spite the ugly parts.
And perhaps that’s how we were persuaded
To choose earth life before we came here.
We saw the whole of our future lives
Silhouetted upon the backdrop
Of God’s perfect evening colors
And we said, sure. I’ll take it. It’s beautiful.
