This poem is dedicated to a special lady. Her husband was passing from this life to the next as I was writing this poem in my prayer time. The interconnectedness of our beings is a mystery not only far greater than our knowing: It is a drawing of God of all of us his children to a communal place of praise of his love — as he remains in us — regardless of time and space.
Beyond visions, rainbows, and opals
Farther than stars, cosmos and galaxies
In greater distance from imaginations
Your presence undiminished, untouched
You walk in byways, citadels, and plains
Where every child, every hummingbird,
Every fairyfly, and every note to a song
Is known to you most dearly, daringly
You know today, yesterday, tomorrow
You hear every sigh, every beating,
Every movement of the wind and leaves,
Every groundbreaking, every shattering
You see the farthest end of endlessness
You are infinite of the most infiniteness
You move, cross, shift, run, change colors
In all of these, you manage to remain in us
