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

in a moment

in acceptance of beauty

found in grace,

in adoration

for all things created

for the one who made it all

who fills my cold of space

the dreaded emptiness of dark

with light and meaning
