Type of Spiritual Experience
Background
A description of the experience
Christopher Read – Expanded Universes
Two survived the flood
We are not of their blood,
Springing instead from the bones

Something hard, ungracious
Obdurate in our natures,
A strain of the very earth
That gave us our abrupt birth;
But a pang too, at the back
Of the mind; a loss…. a lack….
