I believed
the Universe would end
on such and such a day
with so much entropy to spare
atoms throwing off electrons
quark divided
against quark
but one thing I had not bargained for
-- your faith would prove to be so strong
not trust in yourself
or in a higher principle,
an Absolute that binds
heart to heart
world to world
but a deeper knowing,
a single eye watching
a single watching eye
listening
in the midst of whirling suns
and warring nations
we would come back
through the simplicity of our desperation
to the mercy
of our infinite, gracious deferences
