From the Book - First edition.
To find dismooned among the stardust
What is lost and what is gained
Of the infinite in the finite
To figure and transfigure
The much that calls for more
To brave the light of the world
That which exhausts and exalts
Shadowing the light of immortality
From terror to transcendence
The heart's circumference
Bound by neither mind nor matter
Between the scale of atoms and the scale of worlds
Between the time of monarchs and the time of stars
Tracing the thread of being
From shoreless seeds to stardust.
