Evolution
Four million millennia past were
precious particles spread,
From star exploded to form a rock serendipitously led
To rotate in equidistance from a sun, forever since to light
the day,
And upon a moon reflect itself to illuminate the night,
Warming too in exact measure to life create and sustain ever
bright.
Not how long did the sun in all its glory reign,
Nor how the universe did itself maintain,
Must as time or space be pondered,
For no measure can apply that human mind can understand,
And, so, until awakening, must remain these questions grand.
Suffice that minutest particles from explosion pared,
Are in everyone and everything retained and shared,
And with these the memories of past existence carried.
In our short time though, only few seeds in conscious mind
do grow,
But alas, with these revelations, we almost never wonder how
we know.
In every form, animate or inanimate we score,
From explosion forward or before,
A cosmic connection can we not escape.
So through awareness linked, with all of universe we
communicate,
Without words, understood, and fully able to relate.
Fifty million lifetimes to consciousness came we blind,
With only few along the way since then awareness pure to
find,
How far then must humankind in evolution travel
Awareness and bliss to know, with universe to feel
connected,
And in everything we behold, to see the very same light
reflected?
