Mystic Vision
by Henry Burt Stevens8/4/00
My mind's eye carries a vision
of all the shamans
from the beginning of time
to the present day
joining hands in an
immense ring-around-the-rosie.
In the center of the ring
a ball of light
so bright
that none can look at it,
none can tell about it.
One day each of us
will get to see
the shining ball of light
right up close.
It will not hurt our eyes
we will not be afraid
we move closer and closer
until becoming one.
