TO A POET I KNOW

TO A POET I KNOW

A Poem by Vol

When we talk shop and

turn ourselves inside out,

something with no name

happens that is not macro,

not quantum. It is a thing

that knows there is more

than matter in the universe,

a conscious everything whose

strings hold it all together.


Maybe there is more to this

love” thing than we know,

more than we can define.

The quantum people say

the universe just might be

conscious, and that would

mean God, and the unified

theory of everything…


God is love, and whoever

abides in love abides in God,

and God abides in them.”

You write so well Vol. Loved it, the idealism, the belief, the romance of it all. I’m more swayed by science,we've come a long away from the days of superstition, the power of the Church, etc burning women labelled as witches. But here we are still fighting wars with religion pitted against religion. If only they would let go of these false promises and embrace the fact we are all here so let’s live in peace together. See you’ve had me ramble on with this fine write to stew on.

God is different things to different people. Everyone has their own image of him/her, but of course, we know that God is neither a him or a her but pure energy, the same as the spirit within our body is made of. The consciousness of the universe is rising as people are becoming more aware, but there is a very long way to go yet before we are fully conscious, only then will our world change to become Paradise on earth. I like this thought provoking write very much, Vol. Very finely inked and very well expressed. I enjoyed reading very much and I, thank you for sharing... Lovely work, dear poet...

Agree 100% with what you say, dear poet. Thank you for sharing with me...
I lost a loved one, which thew me into a nightmare of soul-searching. I now can't escape the notion that we are pieces of God; He puts us here then takes us back into the Whole-ness, into the One-ness of it all, with the ant and the rock and the far-away star.

Beautiful work that left me yearning ...

Thank you so much for the Bible references and this web blurb - there is so much to know!
"It is a thing
that knows there is more
than matter in the universe,
a conscious everything whose
strings hold it all together."

No truer words have been spoken, Vol. I was deeply moved by your closing verse. It speaks volumes in a world that needs to listen.
