Alpha and Omega
Around this vast
hyper-spectacular array;
throughout this great
multi-galactic swirl
is the deep embodiment
of time.
Our present
sets its questing probes
on aeons long past
for our stellar neighbours;
and they gaze back
at our antiquity,
seeing a youthful sun
gathering its little array of planets,
in a history
still only guessed at
By even our most fertile brains.
When? When in all of this
is the miniscule
concept of "now?"
For us it can only be here
on this
tiny spinning speck
which, miraculously,
has been visited
by the very God
whose cry
echoes through
the time-laden past
of His universe,
making it wait
in cosmic anticipation.
"I am Alpha and Omega,
the beginning and the End."
“All of this
remains,
or cascades into eternity,
at the sweep of my hand,
when it bids
My only Son
to fulfil His promise
of apocalyptic return
to the timelessly blessed location
of my special love gift,
Earth"
