“The sun’s sweet ray is hovering discovered.”  ~ Heinrich Heine (“Der süße Strahl der Sonne schwebt entdeckt.”)

“Gottes Zeit ist die allerbeste Zeit” ~ J. S. Bach

The always present is the best of best,

The always autumn that fulfills the mind.

The always present is Jehovah’s guest

In always Paradise and not refined

Because it is the nth already, set

Up with perfection long before the time

Eternity conceived of years, before the threat

Implied in black holes’ merger, death’s first chime.

The always present is the cherry bloom

In always Aprils, moments far beyond

Our little lives.  The always present room

Is where the first of everything first dawned.

  The Trinity is set so far above

    Mere moments since it is eternal love.

~ Phillip Whidden
