If I Could

If I could see the Sea in one drop of water

If I could see the Sahara in one grain of sand

If I could sense the vast expanse of Time in one tick of the clock

If I could feel the Love of God in one beat of my heart

If I could see the Milky Way in the spiral of one snail's shell

I would be satisfied



If I could see all of Creation in one mote of dust

If I could know the Depths of All Knowing in one moment of "A-HA!"

If I could feel the Wings of Angels in one flicker of insect wings

If I could see all the Glories of the Ages in one sparkle of gemstone

If I could grasp the incredible Endlessness of All in one Eternity of Sunrise

I would be satisfied



If I could...if I could...if only I could,

I would be satisfied

...and not until then

will anything less

ever satisfy me
