The Dawn

So many things to study, to know,  
not only a million facts  
but a million points of view...

The skies of man's endeavor  
are filled with countless lights!  
each standing bold against  
the empty backdrop of night.

No one can count them all.  
Every season brings a new configuration.  
Run, run to catch up, but they outpace you.

Then comes the Dawn of understanding.

The True Orb touches the horizon,  
Its first rays bringing all to naught;  
the very meaning of "seeker" vanishes  
when he enters the presence of the Sought.

One Light in Heaven,  
all lesser things be gone,  
even the blackness between  
now a glowing shade of blue.

On that Day, there is only Him.  
Whatever else had seemed of interest  
must fall to Heaven's coup.
