Philippians 2:15
The Star
into
cold space and endless emptiness,
........far within a deep
indelible dark
where
there was nothing but vacuum,
.................the
dump of despair and death,
.......a
small point of planted light grew.
.........and
came shining slowly
....................with
supreme and certain brilliance,
infusing
a deep day and wide warmth,
...............overcoming
with simple sustaining surety
....the
dark despondent depth . . .
..............................................then
out
of this nether of nothingness
.........more
stars appeared
........................shining
somewhat dimly,
...but
shining steadily and growing.
burning
within and reflecting the original star,
......these
stars are one with the first
............and
contain its fire within
................and
reflect its presence without.
they
are
son-stars, children of the original light.
and
burning brilliantly,
..................breaking
from the dark depth,
.....they
spread into the indefinite infinity
............giving
meaning and definition and form
..............................to
the limitless line of time
as
universes
.....................galaxies
.................................and
constellations.
.........they
have moved into communities of light
...............cohering
and commingling
.................................in
cogent cooperation,
bringing
white-hot truth and order and beauty
............into
the midst of this rank darkness,
..........................seeking
intently to change it
......into
one shining sheet
........................of
pure eternal light.
