Visible and Invisible

The first forgotten
(non erit finis)
was the I,
(non est)
and  who would not,
(in phasmatis reverentia)

for my
(Et credo)
expanded world
(universitas)
climbed in
(saecula saeculorum)
and even God
(pleni sunt coeli et terra gloria)
was dwarfed
(et *****factus est)
by nothingness.
(pro totus universitas)

Come, see the light
(et vitam venturi)
of knowing,
(saeculi amen)
for there is no other  truth.
(amen)

Please be aware the Latin is not a translation or re-phrasing of the English. This is macaronic verse.
