Bound

Bound by old starlight,
we trace finite paths, while streams
pour boundless beyond

Haiku's short form leaves no room for anything but the essentials, yet that very constraint makes it powerful—kind of like trying to fit infinite ideas into a few drops of ink.  Like the Big Bang it makes every syllable count

Power in his hands—
yet the earth beneath his feet
drifts through endless night
