Wendy Watson Poet Rhyme

Cosmic Musings

From microscopic neutrons to the mighty Milky Way
The universe reveals its sundry span.
Magnetic fields preserve a perfect balance night and day
Facilitating life on earth for man.
Our life-sustaining earth parades a stunning rich supply
Of colours, textures, symmetry and art,
And as the master clock ticks off the seasons passing by,
It charts the cycle of each beating heart.
The awesomeness of life should make us pause;
Can random forces really be the cause?

John Watt March 28, 2020 at 12:24 PM The fact that we can even pose the final question and muse on it points to an intelligent Creator, Wendy, not to mention all the perfect conditions that exist here on earth for life to thrive. I so enjoy your careful observation of metre and rhyme, but even more the philosophical contemplation and our shared belief in how that last question is answered. Congrats on this win! John
