THE LAMININ CROSS

THE LAMININ CROSS

A Poem by NeiL ArandA
"

A LOVE that holds everything together.

"


 

The Laminin Cross

 

 

One fateful event inscribed

 

Accurately.

 

Down the page of human

 

History.

 

Gruesome scene of indescribable

 

Agony.

 

As mockers, scoffers watched in scornful

 

Apathy.

 

Darling of Heaven displaying great

 

Humility.

 

Amid crowds taunting

 

Profanity.

 

Dying for many in His

 

Humanity.

 

While holding the universe with His

 

Deity.




~ by NeiL ArandA ~



" Jesus in His humanity hangs on the cross,
dying for the sins of the world.
While His deity holds everything together,
from cellular to molecular level "

Author's Note

NeiL ArandA
A recent scientific discovery of a substance called "Laminin" that is described as a family of proteins are an integral part of the structural scaffolding of basement membranes in almost every animal and predominantly human tissue " You see....laminins are what hold us together....LITERALLY. They are cell adhesion molecules. They are what holds one cell of our bodies to the next cell. Without them, we would literally fall apart. Then there is this coincidental picture of laminin which looks like a cross.

On the other hand, atom is what holds and binds every non living things or matter together. Man was able to harness its destructive force ( atomic bomb ) when he discovered how to split the atom. But what holds every matter in our world and entire universe in the first place ? Peter Higgs a nuclear physicist discovered this " Boson Higg subatomic particle that holds all matter together. It creates something out of nothing. Hence its dubbed as the God Particle.

However here is what the Scripture says - that there is an active, binding force that LITERALLY holds all the matter of the universe together. In Colossians 1:15-17, Apostle Paul also identifies that binding force: "He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation... all things have been created through Him and for Him. He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together."

This is not only religious, Neil I find this one something philosophical. Day by day I realized how your poetry is pointing to a deeper dimension that sometimes I can hardly relate because of my limited knowledge. You have that gift to incorporate more than one aspect in your poetry- Science, Language, Philosophy and religion/faith.

This is exemplary, Neil. Just keep on writing.

Wonderful description and connection between all aspects of life, really I didn`t know about that little "laminin" looks so strange. I like your graph poem and the way you make strong accent on some special words, who let it sound like "drums" on mind, underlined in red color...The end is so incredible..Finally God hold us together, as well as the entire universe. But we can choose to be whole in the light of cross, or "fallen apart".

Very interesting author's note, neil. The cross is the symbol of God's great love to us and it's mind-boggling to know that the substance or element that holds us together has the appearance of the cross.

A courageous poem, penned with spiritual and philosophical passion!


Not dissimilar to a poem of my own called 'Who am I' ; I reckon you would appreciated its content!
