Salvation

The sky opens,
a shaft of light
and I see
everything.
An epiphany
of life,
beauty
beyond words.
Have you ever seen
storm clouds
broken this way?
A light in the dark,
hope that there
is something
beyond the storm.
But it disguises.
It is not
salvation from the heavens,
but simply a reminder
that everything
must end
someday,
even the darkness.
