Cosmology
Stars in the crucible
of endless space
the forge of our souls
our image and likeness
the realities
of which we dream
fashioned from distant
yet homely energies
earth time
space time
all so disparate
and yet so cohesive
Tenderness
from the fiery furnace
the capacity to love
latent in every atom
that reaches out
for another
living communities
of the palpitating heart
held warmly
in the mind
John Lyons
