Correspondence
Vast universe,
though I am small
and cannot hope to know it all
- the birth of worlds,
old galaxies,
unnumbered stars -
I trace your beauty
through the trees,
over mountains
into night,
as we unite
within this light
between the black holes
of our eyes
- so close
we rarely realize,
beyond this earth,
this moon, this sun,
that we are not apart
but one.
