Beautiful Cosmos, Amid Our Anguish

beautiful cosmos how is it even amid our anguish

we still feel you there

and wonder if the gold flaking of your gold leaf everywhere

is evidence of tears

Divine tears

if the sudden dropping of the moon from view

indicates you too must find a way

to grieve alone;

absent the snows what would winter be

nothing for light to reflect off of

only the heart its winter branches bare

beautiful cosmos everywhere

even driven to my knees

by fear of the great disease of apathy

renunciation of the incarnation

I worship the One who made you so

that not one torment here below

can alter what you are.
