Existence & Purpose

Existence & Purpose

 

So why are we here in this place

I am over awed by this experience

Creation is an abundant wealth

incorporating the reality of ourselves

the mystery of desires and dreams

For creation there must be a creator

whose genius is limitless in its 

scope to be a part of every molecule

that forms all that is visible and invisible

The ability to control yet permit freedom

to enable beholders to determine

what is beauty and what is not

to engineer patterns of thought unique

and to produce inventiveness

To stimulate emotions to

motivate and to energise

Birth, life and death all of

which are catered for with nothing

lost or mislaid. To ensure

renewal, rebirth with the seeds of hope

No random act do we form a part of 

but players with roles to live out

the drama of a divine purpose

We create time but not age

we control nothing in reality

but our lives do not pass by unnoticed

For the creator is omniscient inhabiting

all dimensions which he knows with an

infinite knowledge and wisdom beyond

our finite meanderings

We are not lost or abandoned

rather cherished as a craftsman

takes pride in what he has made and

for the purpose it will be used

We see the realm of this planet our home

in a universe,vast beyond comprehension

Other worlds, not planets but dimensions

from where the inexplicable comes

bears witness to a force beyond 

our wildest imaginings or knowledge

Without shape or form, without gender or

name, race or ethnicity for these are his

creation and above which he is supreme

◄ Before you.....

Keith,
I like the way the first two lines of this echo
the title.(the what and the why). You are right that
our humanity (fleshiness) is really `incorporated` in
all this, The bogglingly obvious thing is the huge and
overwhelming superiority of human mentality over the
rest of ceation. (As entertaining as Monkey-World is
we don`t expect a poem like this from them any time
soon)

The scientism of Evolution basically says that everything
`just `appened` (which is not getting us anywhere).

Ah!...but when we get to your `purpose` I wonder if the
perpetual outpouring of protest we see every night on the
news channels could tell us something about that?.

(I mean: what are they all moaning about?)

wise words indeed. i am a proudly ignorant agnostic, and the fusing of science and religion is something i really love writing and reading about. for me, the joy of life is not knowing

Couldn't agree more Keith there certainly is a creator and as you have said in this magnificent poem he has created so much beauty and incredible detail.
Nice one
