Sunrise
The Sun advances
And the sky alights.
Clouds that were grey
Turn incredible shades
Of pink, orange, red,
The sky on fire.
As first light appears, I realize
That we aren’t standing still,
with the sun approaching.
We are on a massive, turning sphere,
In continual motion, dynamic.
I can almost feel the motion…
Almost.
As the sun breaks the horizon –
Orange, blazing, blinding –
The clouds are now yellow
Or white, or grey again.
Why don’t I notice the
Gradual change? It’s
Only when I glance away
And back again that I see
The beauty anew,
The dynamic sky,
So awesome,
So beautiful,
It strikes a chord in me.
Infinity, Eternity
I gaze up at infinity
In the clear blue sky.
And in the crisp, starry night,
I hear infinity cry.
Expansive, unreachable, unimaginable.
But I find eternity
In every conscious moment,
As infinity collapses down
To this very moment.
Time stops… I engulf it…
And I abide in eternity.
