A delicate scattering of shattered Abalone,
Glitters in the vast velvet of midnight sky;
Inlaid landscape, in white mother of pearl;
Lovingly drape, delicate lace, on each tree;
Ruffles of ice edging roofs, beams underlie;
Above windows covered frosty ice all a furl;
Frozen beauty! An eye desert made for me!
My self-centric view of a vast sparkling sky;
Encircled by horizon; trail my eye and twirl;
I am at center of beheld universal beauty!
My arrogant misunderstanding; I must try,
To side-step self; peer intently; to unfurl
The truth, in stars of fire not cold Abalone.
I, one so small; to know must I learn to fly?
I unfold myself and re-center heart’s burl;
Embrace Holy one outside Universe I see;
New perspective from above; needn’t fly!
To see myself as insignificant but God’s girl;
So small but part of His purpose in infinity!
As I gaze into winter night and by faith try,
To fathom Wisdom, setting galaxies awhirl!
Beautifully written. You capture the profound reality that we are both infinitesimal and yet an essential element of all that is one. Hopefully that makes sense. 🙂

Yes, a lot of sense. It’s also, amazing to think how far infinity stretches into the microscopic. Truly, amazing.:0) Everything has purpose within the great purpose.
