Falling out of the universe by Michael Braswell

Falling out of the universe

 

Falling out of the universe where would we go?

To circle a different sun

where dancing stars sparkle in new heaven?

Would we be swallowed deep into black hole, 

consumed by dying void?

Or would we embrace new birth

through forgotten memory restored—

seen, touched and tasted 

as if for the first time,

as if we had never been separated

from that which bore us in timeless moment?

Can we disappear from Creation’s call,

from infinite embrace

outside time as we know it

into alpha and omega

where beginning and ending

complete the circle?
