i got a measuring line
and measured
the length and depths
of heaven
i have tried to fathom
your length
but my measure has failed me
words fail me too
for how can i measure the
smile of a baby
the joy of a mother
holding her child
or how do seeds grow
a seedling enters the ground
and a small shoot
breaks from the crust of wet earth
or how do babies come
little and fragile
the sequence of life
and the mystery of death
the process of life
and the steep of aging
i have tried to measure
the oceans
and the world in them
a universe of extreme beauty
i tried to measure the vistas of the mind
or where do you go when you sleep?
what moment do you fall asleep
when you are awake
beyond the realms of matter
i can feel you
beyond what my little mind
can comprehend
i can boldly call you
ALPHA AND OMEGA
