Autobiography of a Creature from Deep Heaven
A POEM
I was the spark
who lit the face of God
when he flicked his rod
to quell the hateful dark.
I am the sire
of life when I tease
my kiss on primal seas.
I am sunfire.
My nudge is so fine
electrons bounce at my push.
A comet’s tail bends to my brush,
I am starshine.
I fly so fast
that none can prove
I made a move
until I’m past,
nor seize my trace
of falling fire-ice
as I streak and slice
through fields of space.
Yet I’m irked, know why?
Though I graze Saturn and sear it,
the remarkable speed of spirit
is faster than I.

Rocks that block the mouths of tombs
Give sermons of great gravity
On the benefits…
Beatitude in Blue
Enveil God’s face, winged seraphim
Before the dazzling throne:
The onyx clouds cannot hide Him
