Between You and I
Harmony rings When tensioned string Neither loosely bound Nor overly wound Between extremes Life and death At last breath... Polynucleotides bound In-coiled around, Helix paired Macromolecular cipher ... When, mid Unit of time Planck defined? Where all is center What surrounds? When all within What enters?
Ocean of Truth
“I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the sea-shore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.”
Isaac Newton
Auld Acquaintance Forgot
Wrought by hand Shall not long stand When reckoned By eternal. Fore thrice had crowed The cockerel, And the reaping Of denarii sowed, Truth betrayed, Compassion waylaid. Millenia thence, Mans’ offense, Heart’s recompense. By eternal beckoned, To eternal reckoned. Domains of man Lie neath the sands Of cyclic time and Doctrines mimed Without the seed of divine creed. Millenia hence, Heart’s offense, Mans’ recompense. By eternal reckoned, To eternal beckoned.

Without thought, Wherefore mind? Only by kind Is it sought. And thus by mind It is purely wrought, Itself merely a thought.
Contemplation on a Cross
Preciousness of human existence, And its sublime brevity. Cause and consequence in persistence, Universal suffering in severity. Two timbers, one joint, Four points anointed.

1 Corinthians 13
11: When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me.
12: For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
