Pinpricks

PINPRICKS
 
I imagine that God, on high in His infinite splendor
lifts the fabric square of space to His eye and squints.
There, slipping in and out of focus, are the stars:
pinpricks
in the universe.

I am on a dock, feet hanging above the water
and I lift my eyes to squint at the vast canopy of space.
There, giant, fiery, but far away, are the stars:
pinpricks
in the universe.

I am at least a hundred times smaller than God
so why am I allowed to share a metaphor, squinting at
(give me grace to see more often through Your eyes)
pinpricks
in the universe?
