Endless Miracle

On this endless stretch
I find that I am small -
Not insignificant, but tiny,
Like a pebble or a touch.

How can anyone believe
That this is all by chance,
Nothing but a fluke in
Our mistaken design?

Find it on your mountain
Or in your ocean wide
But there is no time to deny
That we live in a miracle.
