Infinity “quantified� into an endless, visible grandeur,
Populated with focal points and whole areas of radiance
Where the dark splendor gathers itself into light
In every possible array of beauty.
The vastness of it all merely magnifies the brilliance…
I remind my heart that my miniscule self still has significance
Suspended in space on this petite planet, also yours,
I am one pinprick of light unseen by natural eye,
But contributing by participation in this majestic
Display of your glory.
It seems for this moment, as if I
Could touch the stars with my fingertips,
Could feel a pulsating back and forth of awe.
This silent siren song of dreamers draws me,
Like the roaring of this earth’s longing for you,
For rebirth, for restoration of creation as you intended.
We weep together, the earth and I,
As the distant suns share our sorrow, but sing of hope—
A hope as immense as this universe,
Embodied in the focal point of time when you stood here
Staring at the night sky as I do now.
You knew the reality of the new heaven, new earth,
That will come to us all because you came.
You are infinity “quantified� into the shape of a man,
Yet more measureless by far than any being could begin to grasp.
The cosmos reveals your nature—endless and unlimited,
Exhibited in the finite beauty of the visible realm.
What I see touches the part of me that knows the unseen
Generating a deeper longing to know
The invisible, infinite you behind what I see.
