Starlight shining upon us,
bent to the needle’s edges,
piercing our consciousness,
our living, our state of being,
in this moment, this time,
offering us a taste, a hint,
of eternity, of our future,
The Creator’s love, our love,
to ponder greater things…
Inside the needle’s eye,
an amulet, a treasure,
light, love, temporal things,
something greater, deeper,
calling to our spirits,
to our vital essence,
our living in this moment,
The Creator’s love, our love,
to ponder greater things…
