but can’t find
exactly all the human dimensions
What we call ‘heart’
a case in point.
Neutrinos zoom
faster than light
continuing to amaze
and puzzle
Photons gather
yet appear in other places
continuing to amaze
and puzzle
Along life’s highway
babies are born
are locked in love for lifetimes
continuing to amaze
and puzzle
Death comes too
searing our hearts
landing with a thud
and breaking in to capture
hold us fast, in still motion
trying to grasp some meaning
understanding
my doctor friend is wont to say
and yes, we all know it
in our minds
Yet in our hearts we struggle
reaching back
drawing deeply
for the things that hold us
Music helps
soothing, giving vent
to warm tears
running down our faces
Hugs from friends and family
connections, heart to heart
sharing loss
Somehow in another dimension
one we cannot see, for now,
we sense a standing place
firm, above and beyond
the here and now
There is an empty tomb
there is a risen Savior
and He’s in the world today
walking, talking, along life’s narrow way…*
