The Proof

Suppose it true,
our solitary home a spinning rock,
flung across entirety
at fantastic speed.

I can almost feel the
wind of it,
loose hair much like
a comet-tail of frozen bits
as time
and every precious minute lived,
flows out behind.

This is a dazzling idea,
where
God and love and
power and fortune,
win and lose and
mighty oceans,
taxes and war and
constitutions
mean
nothing.
The proof of paradise
is imagination.
