No Body

"Ano-raniyan, mahato-mahiyan:
Smaller than the smallest
is greater than the greatest."
~Upanishads

No body
is as small as God,
who is smaller than a gnat,
smaller than a speck
of pollen on a bee's foot,
or the tremor of gravity
in the ocean of a quark.
God is more insignificant
than the time it takes light
to pass through a hair's breadth.
Any creature as tiny as That
must be un-created,
with a perfectly
silent name.
A sparkling 
so imperceptible as God
would have to disappear
into everything,
a swirl
of galaxies
dissolving in the stillness
between heartbeats.
Infinite power
is yours
when you are that small.
