I sweep through the infinity of time like a ray of light
coming to land on a speck of dust
that is solid and therefore visible.
Thus, do I enter time and become finite, yet remain
in the infinite light as well,
transformed as both light and dust,
one not more than the other.
In the blink of an eye I leap through universes and cosmos
into unknown space,
dark as the deepest sea is dark,
dark as the blackest night is dark,
Dancing and swirling within the light, I become a star –
a star and a speck of dust,
the infinite and the finite,
Forever joined in deepest love,
Forever joined in holiness.
