What is more logical to explore
To microscope with unjaundiced eye
Than the spectrum
Of God divisible
Shattered and decimated
To each and all
To every cell and atom
Of all existence
Where attention may be riveted
To profit from all exhibited.

Therefore, quit thy imagined throne
Of judgment and sagacity
Ask forgiveness for thy audacity
To presume to judge
A part of anything.
As representative
Of the whole.
Then pay obeisance to
The entire retinue
Of life and love and faith
Though you - me, not know them all.
To thyself look for fault
Or space to be improved
And forfeit conceit of self
To humble acceptance of
What is possible to be
Or become
Or to hope for.
