Perfection of the Cosmos

by John Herlihy

 

The planets, the stars, the galaxies follow

The most perfect course ever conceived

The circle that reigns across the heavens

The planets, the stars, the galaxies flow

In orbits that mark the law of the circle

The circle of perpetuity reigns supreme

What lies in this circle of timeless time

What lies within the vastness of infinity

But the unity prefigured in the center

A single unity prefigured in the center

At its core lies the oneness of the center

At its core lies the center of the universe

God the Father, the Lord of the Cosmos

The origin and source of all created things

Eternal force and determinant of all law

Where everything has beginning and end

Leading back to the eternal circle of life

The center exists in the realm of the circle

The cosmos exists in the realm of the center

In the diversity of all these realms lies unity

Orbiting galaxies produce music of the spheres

We seek solace in the harmony of these sounds

In the center of galaxies there are no gods, just black holes.

Coincidentally, just observed, were the colliding of two black holes, causing great turbulence in space at that point. Also proving what Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking predicted.

The magic of the circle is inherent to anyone, regardless of supernatural beliefs, for perpetuity, as you've outlined here, is the science and truth of circular energy and its unstoppable need for any and all of life's formulas for living a purposeful existence.
