poe20: Kalahari Night, "....on Earth, as in Heaven"

Little upstarts crowd together
and use their numbers
to startle awareness
and sear our eyes
like a thousand suns.

They wait for the dark
to implode our knowing
wait till our minds
fold up like flowers,
wait... watching.

who falls weightless out of time
seamless, into eternity's space,
stirred by the immensity of compassion
we find when we waken
to such conspiracy of stars!
