Stephen’s Meditation: for 31 December 2020
This is
the still point, before the starting gun sparks,
the shimmer of a diamond, frolicking in light,
God’s forefinger reaching out to Adam’s,
or
the exquisite hand of a baby, unfurling her grasp,
showing us the work was good,
and
on the final day of creation, World Peace,
when the clock clunks on to twelve, and starts again from 0.
