A Benediction
I Wish to Be Exquisite
One of the cosmos, drifting through the Milky Way’s sweeping lanes
Imagine — that stellar dust of space
Filling our emptiness with its expanding light
There will always be enough scattering to encapsulate us
We are trapped in Father Time’s hourglass
Infinite possibility in infinite space
Tasting the breath of ancient knowing
Fingertips tremble through ethereal veils of zeros and stardust
Making contact
Transmitting love
Transmitting truth
You are the giver.
You hold its memories in your hands
Its heartbeat in your eyes
Thou art exquisite
