The Signs

The darkness, shining like a thousand suns,
the silence, growling like a thousand thunders,
the void, including any sets and sums 
of any sets… A curious man wonders 
what if so called phenomena, events
are just the shadows, echoes, outlines
of something, somebody, who represents 
a cause of everything, and all these signs - 
void, silence, darkness - bear witness to 
the presence of the one whose darkness shines,
whose silence thunders, whose non-being is too 
full of existence, who's beyond confines 
of understanding.

Kurt, the essence of your poem - "bear witness to the presence of the one " is beautiful!
