Twilight's softer shadows fall,
and far where ends horizon's line
a light as bright as Sirius
illuminates night's indigo.
Thoughts released fly heaven bound;
unanswered questions find response.
Then there between the dusk and dark
my spirit seeks the road for home.

Well versed and deep is this! Reflecting on the possibilities of the here after's answers. I'd first thought it refered to night time rem sleep in solutions presenting themself. But now read an even deeper subject involved here. I for one sincerly hope this is the case for us all. Beautiful use of word choices expressing the idea.
