Thought
Beyond imagination the universe is vast
To grasp its total frame, observer stands aghast
Whirling spirals, spinning discs appear like tiny dots
On canvas black, radiant suns are countless shiny spots
Nearest neighbour disc is reached in thirty billion years
And by that time who knows, maybe it disappears
Senses only catch the scenes of fragments scattered wide
The greater truth beyond that scope our blind spots will hide
Those who know totality and secret of it all
Will see the space of intervals as skin of overall
Cosmic body of great Lord to opened eye will see
That all the sparkling jewels above are Lord’s accessory
A thousand arms, a thousand eyes, a thousand legs and heads
Looks to us like filaments of luminous heavenly threads
Quantum leaps of joy as vision cleared like dawning days
Divine parts are playing parts in seeming vast arrays
Prayer
O Lord, in my small exchanges of love with Thee, my ignorance blinds me to your overwhelming totality; yet in your chosen moments of grace, you give me, your helpless child, a glimpse of your grandeur to elevate my soul. Grant me this from time to time when my mind lags behind and gets dragged down.
