Within the Temple of the Soul: Spiritual Poems Within the Temple of the Soul is the first volume of poems by an anthroposophic poet. Gray Night Undistinguished Gray night, undistinguished. It is all the same, The eye cannot see it There is no point of reference It is a moving curtain Drawn to a close. I am the point of reference Out side of me it is only the blanket of clouds It is only the blanket one rolls in It is only the softness like feathers. About the Author Matthew R. A. Bingham was born in Washington, D.C., in 1970 and spent his formative years in Texas, England, Canada, and southern New York State. He attended several Waldorf schools and, in 1992, graduated from the University of Colorado (Boulder) with a B.A. in anthropology. During postgraduate studies in Europe, Matthew began to struggle with schizophrenia and returned to the U.S., where he redirected his career and creative energies toward writing poetry. His poetry is influenced strongly by Walt Whitman and addresses matters of nature in America and spiritual realities. Matthew lives in West Hartford, Connecticut.
