Comeliness in Constancy

Modern poetry modern verse contemporary poetry contemporary verse modern poem contemporary poem

The cosmos harbors constancies of grace

Unending in their forms.  These coiling curls

Are logarithmic out in Outer Space

And in our chasmed seas.  These smaller whorls

Of seashell beauties and the flight of moth

So mesmerized it flies to candle death

Are all about us, also in the swath

Of hurricanes and maybe in the breath

Of ghosts in ancient circle burial grounds.

The seeds of sunflowers center selves around

The blossoms’ hearts in silent seraph sounds

Unheard but bass in deepest cosmic ground.

  This spangling everywhere of coils within,

    Within, within is God’s perfections’ spin.
