I gazed at what had caught my eye---
The early sun perched on the hill
As red and ominously still
As an egg yolk painted in the sky.
Enrapt in its beauty I stared
At this portentious whitening or
Until my eyes could not absorb
Its burning brilliance shining unspared
Long had I sought the reason why
My mind could never comprehend
The mysteries that know no end
That reason fails to satisfy.
Yet, if the naked eye goes blind
At the glory of this finite sun
How can I, O Infinite One,
Contain Thee in my finite mind!
