Seeing

And may that love within our hearts

Set fire to others with its flame.

                                                 Universalis Hymn

Again, this bending seeing

to a small-dwelling detail of Your boundless 
beauty:

the flame-red leaf 

that settles  

at my feet;

a contour thought 

from You

coming to rest in me,

as fire leaps large

from slightest 

matter

into the thick gaze of the heart,

which is contemplation

bearing the particularities

of divinity

into the bright-vast vistas
of the delighted soul.
