In this cosmic story’s thread
Humans play a tiny part

At each day’s ending and at death
We all can test our living,

As we welcome Spirit’s presence
We find Spirit comes with fire

As the sunlight turns to shadow,
And life loosens its firm hold;

As life approaches ending
What times should we recall?
