Beyond Infinity

I sit Alone in the dark The finite contemplating the infinite My mind travels to the stars Innumberal planets and moons My World no longer feels so large It is less than a speck of dust I travel further Beyond the stars To space without end No beginning no end Even this void is not enough to hold my God I look to the microscopic He also resides in the small We have only begun to see The details the intricacies of him The universes within all worlds Molecules, atoms, electrons and DNA His signature pointing the way Ordered Divine It should increase our faith Nothing came from time and chance Here I am the finite Watching the sun rise Thankful for another day I know through Jesus I will become infinite Limitations will be removed In the future he will help me understand For now I am thankful for today

Loved the celestial qualities of this piece and I agree with your message entirely. I find it really silly how one can so readily believe that all this wonder was purely accidental... like really? The finite gazing upon the infinite... that's really how it is isn't? Couldn't have said it better myself... I responded to your comment on my clerihew James Cameron btw if you wanna take a look...
