Poem
Oh, dear God, this life's been such a blessing, At times I forget that I live in Your Love, Though I may miss the mark, still a lesson for me! On occasional flights, I do dream that there's more, That you're real, life has meaning beyond all desire! To bail out of a swing, or to jump from a height's A reminder that gravity's king! Though men circle the earth Now in orbital flights, it's your Love that we gravitate toward! In day's light child in tree sees impossibly far, And we've learned now that stardust sparks all 'IS' there is! As our minds circle earth far above all the clouds Day or night light will dim when a planet occludes Stars a billion years old! Their youth whispers to us, And bears witness to how far life's chemistry spreads! But a true God revealed must exceed all man's dreams As now sky's darkest patches show galaxies home. Matter races away from our parent 'Big Bang!' (God's gift recently named as once Adam and Eve Named all plants, moving life, even planets that share Our own sun though they 'wander' across the 'fixed' stars.) Are there those unaware the theology's false the Earth's center of all? Now we learn that some galaxies follow new rules, Are not randomly spread through all space as once thought, But more smudges on lines Roman Candle balls trace From one source fired through space at the whim of a child! As minds stretch to create maps of not just sun's planets, But galaxies, stars, that share space that surrounds us, And learn some infinities dwarf many others, That in fact, some exist that are boundlessly bigger Than many we know! May we gain new perspectives, Grok how small all constructs of God likely are! Morph your infinite God to one boundlessly bigger, Might our whole universe be a street light in heaven? Long Tooth February 13th, 2019
