"The Glimpse"
Would you take the grand step 'cross the sky
to stars whose sparkles beckon
and sever the umbilical cord of gravity,
be awed by planetary majesty,
embrace God's endless cosmic tapestry
and escape Earth's pull each second?
Then step on soil of a distant star,
your footprints at Heaven's gate.
Centuries you've pointed to journey there
to catch a glimpse of God so rare
Your rocket arrow of feather and Care,
swift chariot to Destiny's date
Although a faint echo of a tiny whisper
in the thunder of Time is Man,
a trembling leaf on an outstretched branch,
a blade of grass on dry land,
a corner patch on some crazy quilt
where good and evil reign.
But Greatest wonder your relentless search
to jump the stars in a single lurch,
to sit on God's cosmic perch,
And view the Earth again !
