More Imagination Needed – a poem by Jeffrey L. Taylor

More Imagination Needed

We are surrounded
by God’s Creation,
the ocean we swim in.
The Southern Cliff in
the Lagoon nebula
is five light years tall.
Including the Oort cloud,
our solar system,
is two light years across.

The God I imagined
fits within that.
God filling the galaxy
stretches my imagination.
Imagining God filling
the known universe
is beyond me.
