Unsigned Abstract
by Anthony dela Fuente

From the dusk of my yesterday I take with me
Fragments of my splintered days, ghosts and echoes
Remnants of the scents, textures and tastes
Of a past now gone – the moments snuffed out.
I shall keep a part of you too. You do not
Define me, but somehow in my undefining,
We are inexplicably, inevitably intertwined.

From the dawn of my tomorrow, I shall look forward
To unhurried morning walks, and I shall taste
Unbitter dam-burst of moments gushing like a spring.
And I shall smile. The stillness in my soul
Urge me to go on forward. There will be fear –
But it is a fear only the most courageous feel
In moments of great heroic feats.

In the sunshine of the now-ness of my present, I dance.
A kaleidoscope of splintered days and untasted sweetness
Is an abstract painting, a masterpiece yet to be finished.
And I find myselt humming a hymn, the lyrics as of yet unwritten,
Epithets and praises; it is both a laughter and a sob.
I savor these moments with the profoundest knowledge -
I am afforded the grace of the resurrection of my becoming.
