THE HEART OF THE MATTER

how can a speck of dust

comprehend     the universe

in all its glory        and majesty

I am at times beyond      overwhelmed

past the point of         feeling my smallness

infinitesimally minute    barely even a presence

and yet you have generated           

a wonder        beyond anything

I could possibly feel   outside of

a magnitude         of gratitude

for the   minuscule   perception of glory

you have taken dust

and congealed      a realization

that gives        light to life

and touched        even the broken

with a glimpse     of     paradise

of a grace    that even in our brokenness

that you could reach          deeply

beyond all      that an eye can see

and touch          the hidden 

that we have       fortressed

and sheltered        and not allowed

violence of nature        or  men to touch

for only         your   divine   purity

and innocence     will           we

even allow to enter         this room
