Original DDE™ art: “Sunset Bell” — by: rob kistner © 3/24/26
—-<§>—-
beneath the surface
an energy gathers quietly—
…not heavy
…not dark
but full—
as if something is waiting
to become something else
we move through it unaware
thinking at depth
one finds only stillness—
an absolute silence…
when it is in reality
a slow preparation
then—
suddenly—
without warning—
a profound shift
not upward
not outward
but through—
what held us
loosens—
what defined us
evolves—
in that precise moment
energy rises—
…unbridled
…uncontained
…as if we have remembered
how to be motion itself—
momentum incarnate—
somewhere beyond
this moment of transformation
a bell is said to sound—y
the Sunset Bell—
calling forth
across a distance
no living ear can reach
and yet
something in us mortals turns
as though we sense it—
as though we know it waits—
as though we almost hear it
not fear
not loss
only curiosity
as if death
was never an ending—
but the doorway
to becoming light
pure living energy—
set free
in another realm
