Fire and Light

We're but a drop in the ocean, a grain of sand,  
But in this moment, we’re a comet's arc.

What does the Maker think of our tangled flesh?
Do the gods pause from their heavenly script  
To smile at the laughter shared by two human lovers?

We’ll have years for slumber between dirt and stone.  
The dust beneath us will soon claim our bones.
For these moments our breaths mingle
And we are the universe.

Let us ride this rhythm of this moment’s delight,  
Though we are dying and all of creation cares not  
For our pleasure or pain.  
To care for the soul of another  
      To care and then to die.  
      That is enough.  
But for this moment in time, we will have known
Fire and light.
