While supernovas explode in space, I live on Earth in a body made of stardust. While I can’t fathom creation, the Creator still speaks to me in my dreams. The poem that follows, The Nature of Our Relationship, centers on seeking relationship with the Creator of infinite possibilities.
In A Supernova Garden
I sought you everywhere
traveled the world imagining us
face to face breath mixing breath
I left the Earth without having found you
cruised past the moon Saturn Pluto
the long and winding Milky Way
I imagined your warm voice in the soundless
universe I searched through gardens
of blossoming magenta cherry and saffron
supernovas until I began to recognize your face
the stars that freckle
your unfathomable countenance
and from within
a dream I heard you call me beyond
the universe and I looked
to your voice and beheld the edges
of a multiverse reaching outward
at the same time as the universe
reaches inward.
