The Cosmos, the Flower and the Bee

Look as far and as wide as you can, my friend, 
Turn your eyes towards the sky and try to pierce infinity-
This vast unknown- 
Ponder about its existence 
Let not a single thing unexamined 
Any stunning flower untouched  
Any majestic bird unobserved 
Any magnificent fish unnoticed 
And tell me 
Isn't life a miracle?
An unbelievable story? 
An inconceivable design?
Yet
A  mesmerizing reality?

Look how heaven and earth are put together:
A harmonious whole operating with such precision and
With a single purpose in mind- LIFE!

Tell me, could this great design be the outcome of chance?
Of a hazardous consequence?
Or
The work of blind forces?

Look closer my friend, once again,
Pay attention to the details of this incredible miracle of life
Look how things are so wisely operating 
Observe the relationship between a flower and a bee
How they are interrelated,  
Interconnected and
Interdependent 

Marvel how, although they both are so transient,
They maintain eternity 
Note the way they obey the cosmic laws 
Thus
Enacting the choreography of life and death that divinity has conceived 
And by doing so they become divine themselves and their art holy 
                                       
Let us, my friend,
Be inspired by them and let us create our own
Harmonious coexistence
Our own choreography, inspired by God,
For
To incarnate His will in reality
So as to glorify His creation
And us to live in peace as He meant us to live!

Login to Reply Demetrios Trifiatis Date: 8/7/2019 11:24:00 AM My dearest friend, Richard., do you know that when I run for the European Parliament members of the Soup threatened to write to the European Commission accusing me of being racist and a person of no morals! Who me , that all my writing is a living proof of the contrary. Unfortunately there are some who would be happy to see me go. I do not do it for them , I just see that I will leave the world worse than I found it and this saddens me. I keep fighting for love an justice, I need time to relax. Soon will be 75, God, willing. Thank you though. I will keep your thought in mind. Is people like you who make me write!

Tom Cunningham Date: 8/6/2019 2:40:00 AM My first read of the day and what a beautiful piece of writing it is too Demetrios. Today many are blinded by the trapping's of technology and fail to observe the beauty of creation not looking beyond their front door. Everything about creation facinates me and I appreciate its beauty. Congratulations on reaching your 2400 verse always sharing with us your wisdom and not forgetting those beautiful flowers that accompany your work.
