What's that you say? You say there is no God?
Have you considered where we're standing now?
We stand upon the surface of a globe,
A sphere spun out into a vast abyss.
We're held down by a force called gravity,
Alone within the universe of stars.
We spin around in measured speed to give
Us night and day, while floating ‘round the sun,
In season's time, we glide in mystic flight.
Located far enough that we don't burn;
Placed close enough that we don't freeze; the sun
Gives warmth and light upon the endless flow
Of life. Our world is placed within the void,
Where least amount of cosmic dust will fall,
Protecting us from tons that drift in space.
We breathe the air provided by the sea
And trees, while they absorb what we exhale.
The moon, in regulated frames of time,
Completes its cycles of infinitude,
While burning with an unconsuming fire
Of creamy light. The clouds in clusters shed
Their rain that falls upon the softly green
Hill-pastures, dells and plains, where flowers grow.
I mention just a few of His Graces,
And still, I hear you say: 'There is no God? '
hey, in the Poet's Notes you write 'two boys sitting', but in the poem it says standing. right? so which is it? sitting or standing? ? this is super important. i won't be able to eat supper until i know the answer. well, i'm being called to supper. maybe one bite? Alone within the universe of stars..........Alone? are you sure? There is no God .............a statement unproven, just as the statement There is God is unproven.....to me. ====================================== supper lasted longer than one bite. i lied. bri :)
