Alpha and Omega

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"
