Come As You Are

Space the universal medium, in which everything grows 
       Where it comes from, is postulation, nobody really knows 
            Bursting with cosmic energy, has no interaction with light 
        A fabric interwoven with time, where stars shine so bright 

            One thing we can be sure of, within space we live our life
       Which in turn compels me to deduce, the void came alive 
            I’m not saying it’s god, too big of a step, not ready to take 
       Yet I cannot stop musing, sometimes keep myself awake 

            Creation starts at the infinitesimal, tiny mysterious quarks
       Which in turn make up neutrons, giving atoms their sparks
            Clumping together to become molecules, gases and solids
       Forming shapes in the ether, coalesced nebulae remodels 

            We’re made of stardust, supernova remnants, I do believe 
       Making us part of a cosmic balance, perhaps reality’s seeds
            Our roots forged in space, allegedly made of nothing at all 
       An invisible garden is replenished, when ultimately we fall. 

            But enough of the science, we only scratch about the surface 
       This poem is about space, trying to explain its very purpose 
            Well I do have my own theory, about everything on the whole 
       I believe space is a living entity, holding portals to our souls 

            We where not given any choice, just simply born, it had to be
       Part of an eternal extant life form, some call god or holy trinity 
            This universe has come to life, through sentience from sparks 
       And looking skyward I ponder, is it us, underpinning the quarks.

Thanks Dvid. I win some and lose some-the pleasure is in the writing, especially for me, in trying new forms.

David, I rarely see this " I believe space is a living entity, holding portals to our souls " but I believe it too!

Heya Caren, thanks for looking in, I’m convinced we’re connected and part of the whole balance of the cosmos, through death as much as life, cheers David
