The Last Heartbeat

was the precise moment when all things became
possible, and the sum of all history
(mystery, this) was (and is and is to come)
clenched like a fist in the second that contained
one heartbeat. Held there: infinity, every
decision, price, promise of hope not realized.
The second that wrote happy endings to
every story until the end oftime
(and beyond) gave truth a capital T.
The end (now) can be: happily ever
after. Joy is (now) more profound than sorrow
(neverman spake as this man). Tomorrow is
(now) because: it is finished! wrung from the
heart of God forever for a finite world.
