Exist
Sign cries out, “living as if god exists”
silence exists, atoms, the void
Matter, chemicals collide, gases swell
Timeless ebb and flow
Gases and suns explode flying into the darkness
dying and giving raw material for birth
heat… heat cooling, freezing, collisions of matter
light, electricity, gravity, moisture
clouds, rain and more & more
matter washes back and forth, sand, soil
oceans, lightning, thermal vents
in the creative soup cells change to life
cells evolve, life adapts to harshness
uncounted species evolve, adapt, reproduce, live and die
species form community/ rules evolve to protect
rites evolve to gain favor with unexplained forces… the gods.
Gaps in imperfect knowledge are bridged by belief and faith.
Life creates what it has power to create
new life, beauty, art, speech and within it
are the seeds of its own existence
and eventual non-existence.
A grain of sand/ a life lived
Some grains small/ some a little bigger
and the grains return
they exist
Living to die/ living to exist
Exist and then….exist as change overcomes /atoms change
and they
EXIST.
