A Cosmos Seeded Birth Born In A Single Thought Poem by Terence George Craddock

within the light of a bright
awakening if you could save
a life for a second
would you save that life
for a mere second
if you could save a life
for a hundred years
would a hundred years of life

be more worthy
of saving?
life saved for a second or a hundred
years which is equal or more important in time
a second to alter the destiny of civilizations an entire world
trapped in an ephemeral moment a mere microscopic second

in eternity
because in eternity
a trillion trillion years
is less
than a moment
in time
because eternity
dwells

outside of time
outside of creation
in awesome imagination
of a timeless creator God
without beginning end
dreaming speaking

all creation into being
in the birth of a single thought
to go to work to come home in darkness is not
dwelling
in darkness
because there is light
within a flame
a spark a potential

for an illuminating eternal radiant
light the light of creativity creation
echoes in purity within
all life the entire cosmos
is seeded in birth born
in a single thought
