Most Astonishing – The Spirit Of Life Poem by Jo Anna Bella Bennerson

Most Astonishing, the love you have for me,
securing us in this well placed spot of the galaxy.
I cling to their man-made modern technology,
to the 4-billion mile away photo that sealed it for me.

They say, it’s DUST, that ray of illumination
way above, far below, embracing both sides of Earth.
Why then is no such phenomenon associated with the other planets?
Are rocks, metals, ice, gas and yes dust, all they’re worth?

Childlike me, sings, ‘He’s got the whole world in his hands”,
but you argue that’s not God, or our secured link to heaven.
Then, may I suggest it’s The Spirit of Life, our 6 billion plus human energy
and all the energy of those gone and yet to come? The Earth’s enlivened!

Put in the zen aura of the trees and animals and protoplasm, too.
For with the evidence of the fixed orbits, the sun’s magnetism,
the earth’s working internal furnace, a moon to tide and numerous clues,
I find it most astonishing LOVE, my GOD, designed the world with such precision!
