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 silvern tapestry
and escape Earth's pull each second.

Then step on soil of a distant star,
first footprint at Heaven’s gate.
For centuries, you pointed to journey there
to catch that glimpse of God so rare.
Now your arrow, man made of tensiled gear,
is a star leaping Ark of Faith.

And tho' you're a faint echo of a tiny whisper
in the thunder of Time called 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 !

Yes, I would, dear Namyh! What a fantastic poem ... so perfectly in line with the article I have just finished reading about the discovery of the Higgs Boson. It's a fascinating moment and research goes on ...

As it happened with Peter Higgs, it's the imagination that precedes the greatest discoveries and your poem is an absolutely exquisite example of this kind of imagination.

Your words are a celebration of what IS.

Margherita – I believe I’ve heard about the Higgs Boson, something I think to do with the origin of the universe. Yet I’m so happy you enjoyed the poetic origin of this work, man’s curiosity. I’m also glad my imagination was working that day so you may enjoy all this day. Thanks M for your ever wonderful words of enjoyment. Namyh

Startime – It’s a good day when one poet can entice a kindred poet to ponder a journey into the cosmos in search of divine answers. In return, I will embrace your the ‘BIG HUGS”. Thanks Startime. Namyh

ebonygirl – In the thunder of Time, man is indeed a faint echo of a tiny whisper who has come a long way and has yet a long way to go. What makes him a giant is his ability to envision what can be and not settle for what is. What will keep him a midget is letting fear stunt his vision. So glad you found some inspiration here ms. e.
