in a moment
in every direction i look
i see wonder
in this moment
a bee on the knob
of an onion stalk
gone to seed
another comes
sunlight on the pair glistens
in trading greetings
while maintaining work
with twitching antennae
exuding intelligence
take the line of substance
each particle of matter
invisible
each color magically
from the air assembled
the lines and form
of manifold things appear
as if spontaneous
the wonder increases
i feel for the look of a figure
one who knows
one who is responsible for all of this
’cause i feel his presence
the one who formed it
the intelligence of magnificence
moments ago
by the turn of a half a day
things appeared bleak
i was immersed in darkness
the late afternoon was near the dusk
my heart heavy
my pulse dim
my thoughts weak
i saw little
i know much of the blackness
of the coldness of space
the absolute emptiness of it
of us who cannot live in its place
on a globe of splendid life
we live
in that moment
i could only feel
the emptiness of the vastness
absence of near-felt love
yeah, it’s filled with violence
replete beyond belief
with hellishness on this globe
and yet
i was given focus
on the beauty
at this moment
and let the color fill my heart with hope
to take-in the beauty of the living
of the moving colors
and breath of life
a moment fell upon me
a mantle
to make and create personal meaning
one of love for all things
to overcome the cold of space
and fill it with appreciation
for the invisible
beyond the chaos
to this moment of calm
bringing into life in the simple way
of yielded observation
of what lies before us
or the one who made it all
who fills my cold of space
the dreaded emptiness of dark
with light and meaning
