Can our hearts be large enough oceans to hold
the love that comes from the sky?
Can we bear its serenity – flooding us with stillness
in its free embrace?
Can we envision all that has been extinguished, stirred
and newly lit up into luminous blue?
Can we, even if briefly, dwell in this in-between place –
where life dust mingles in its twilight of matter?
Can we imagine its boundless province to forever be in the
background as worlds spin and unravel their stories
again and again?
Can we fathom its azure veil of protection
shielding us from the unendurable face of God?
