STARS IN THE SAND
In the Infinite’s eyes,
All matter and time are of similar size.
Nebulas hide in needles, and,
Stars twinkle in sand.
A million years sift through an hourglass,
Eons linger as seconds pass.
All along has the Infinite planned
To give equal import to stars and sand?
Look closely at a leaf and one day see
The deepest depth of reality.
Ponder snowflakes and understand
The countless stars in a grain of sand.
When a galaxy explodes and heaven rearranges,
Here in the back yard, nothing changes.
But an offhand meeting, though casual and fleeting,
Sparks a sequence of events with lifelong meaning.
We never know when fate is at hand,
Nor whether it lies in the stars or the sand.
