The Silhouette

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 colorsIs 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 livesSilhouetted upon the backdrop Of God’s perfect evening colorsAnd we said, sure. I’ll take it. It’s beautiful.
