Author's Notes: This poem, entitled: "Our Cosmic Existence" is set in a Terza Rima format. This poem represents a deep-dive into the complexity of existential and spiritual thought in relation to our human view and interpretation what may actually lie beyond the great outreaches of the Universe (or Cosmos) as each of us later as "soul beings" move beyond the mortal coil of this life as we seek oneness with our God and move toward eternity into the light. This was a co-written effort with my wife Ingrid who possesses a strong and robust knowledge of cosmic awareness and understanding. May you enjoy this write!!

Our Cosmic Existence
We think what we know but the key confusion is always there,
When we ponder situations or events that have such high import,
And what we're used to dealing with daily at times on a mere dare.
In this cosmic realm what we don’t know we must try to purport,
Significant because of the infinite nature of deep dark outer space,
Which points toward an existential dichotomy of a most special sort.
Our knowledge of what we don’t know is of such an infinite pace,
Confounding whole the mortal complexity of a cosmic coldness,
And defying our very consciousness in the monotony of dark space.
We must confront our cosmic existence with such confident boldness,
While calculating what we know and don’t—without any hint of fear,
And seek a God-given azimuth beyond this aura of a fearful coldness.
Our cosmic existence lies in God’s light beyond this darkness and fear,
Meaning we must reach out beyond our mortal state in an aura of grace,
With our thoughts, our hearts, and our feelings so God can make all clear.
We can pursue this ethereal challenge now living in our human race,
While realizing we must reach out with God’s help to find this light,
And prepare one day for our mortal transition beyond to God’s place.
Our cosmic existence then is the two-way effort that we must get right,
As we seek out and find our way to Him spiritually beyond our short life;
Confident in our trek through a pathless land toward eternity into the light.
