The Highest In Heaven Concords With The Deepest In Man

Joshua Alan Sturgill     

The whole cosmos passes
through the living lens
and appears
(inverted, undiminished)
in the anteroom
of the eye

like a guest
arriving with solemnity
at a king’s palace.
What messenger
brings word to the Heart
deep in counsel, deep 

in contemplation?  Reason
knocking quietly, enters
with a bow.  Your Grace,
may I announce:
with her collegium of stars,
the Moon
