songs in revery

by Kathryn J. Miller

we work with the magic of all things
we draw on that power and light up like stars
we watch, looking for miracles and see if
broken things and people find their fix and repairs
we wait for news from around the corner, from some
distant planet or universe being born
we know news comes slowly from distant worlds even
if the Webb tells us stars are still being born and die
we remember something about black holes realizing if
we are swallowed we likely won’t know,
we could mourn now and wonder how that would help,
we work with the magic of all things and know that includes
the all of what we know which may be less than we think,
it’s likely we cannot fathom the depths of the ocean even
though we have its measurements
it’s likely we can’t see the beginnings of beginnings, yet
the Light does not sleep rather dreams about
singing in revery
