Poem Artwork

By fate we live, daring to make some sense
Of long years lost ignoring human dense.
Reason shrieks there must be a primal cause.
If not, earthly sanity knows no laws.
Science gives a queer start to what exists:
"The Big Bang blasted being from nothingness."

Have we in turn sprung forth to be ignored,
Daring to know being of our own accord?
Perhaps free will gives terms: the right to choose
Between insanity or a God-planned ruse.
When life's clock unwinds, death will certainly occur.
Being's cruelest twist: wits without an answer!

I don't think there's ever a concrete answer for all this. I just try not to get all wrappedf up in my own certitudes.

Good poem,

Chip Bergeron

The bridge between science and spirituality can be crossed but it takes and open mind and a willingness to use the brain the higher power provided us with.

This is probably a t-h-e-m-e that readers will grow tired of even though it obsesses my thinking!
