Old Light Old Dust

L Light is old, some 10 billion years late
I I see light that started coming from distant stars, late
G God is so careful to provide for us; our Sun does more than others: less late
H HIStory may be about the past; So too with LIGHT: needs debris, is LATE
T Take Alpha Centauri, 1% of our STAR. Near & far: 25trillion miles, or 4 LY late?

Dedication: To the LIGHT of Carmelo Ricci. I had him and P.S. member, Lisa Ricci, in prayer as i wrote this: we are all ancient light and (star)DUST in God's SPACE.

Very nicely said, Anil! I like Harry's thought-stream also -- a little something of mine to add to the fine mix: Listen to the sky- night and bright leading the eye- wells of dark deep with glitter, the speckled mind of a scholarly sitter- What does he expect to hear, rhythmic run between sight and ear- shooter faint but clear of distant hollow to a crater near?
