Today's poem is by Sandra Meek
Idolum Naturae Magnum: A Meditation
From Gorman's Philosophy of Animated Existence
In space richBeautiful for its worldsthe immensity
of Matter hingeswithout reasons. We decompose
to be present, take for the Wholethe great Mutation, vast and frightful solitude
as our better fortune. Living empire, coevalto our ecliptic course, witness duration
in the Doctrine of Lost species; breatheas we are Breathed, without decay
or diminution; Unburnthe visible horizon, Invisible universedistance between
ever be infinite.
