fusion

all life

at it’s core

comes from the sun

that solar furnace

the one place

in the universe

where the quantum and gravity

play nice

mass becomes energy

and energy becomes light

and absolutely everything

ignites

 

you said you

wanted to be seen

had so much warmth to give

the universe's a

cold and empty place

but you my child

are like the sun

where being becomes

light

and two become

one

Your ability to reach far,

Your ability to reach far, astonishingly far, and bring Heaven to Earth, the expansive into the human experience, giving both the honor they deserve, is a master class in sacred poetry. 

 

Enormous accolades! Can’t praise this enough.

This is luminous, Karl!  I

This is luminous, Karl!  I love how you move from the vastness of the cosmos to the intimacy of human connection.

The sun’s fusion as a metaphor for love and presence is so powerful,

especially in the way you show warmth igniting meaning in a cold universe.

The closing lines about being becoming light and two becoming one are quietly transcendent. Smile
