Notes About The Poem

The Great Unknown

People create in all kinds of ways
Like other animals do
And in uniquely human ways.
And when we uniquely create
We open up
And the Universe opens too.
And between the two magic transpires.
Creation takes all shapes and forms
From single cells to complex structures
That can span millennia.
But when gates are open
And creation really flows
The bounds of time and space
Logic and reason
Are transcended
As if they are only figments
Of limited imagination.
And in transcendence
When the illusions of self and other
Have fallen away
As if they have never existed
What is left but play?
At play in the fields of the Lord
You may say
If there was a you 
Left to form such an absurd thought. For
No self and no other needs and
Leaves no room for even a Lord 
And its fields for play.
In the great unknown we are reminded
Knowing we are neither,
Both or other.
