Sum

Underneath everything,

underpinning creation,

something fundamental lurks.

Our minds feel that tangible

knowledge – close to faith, close to

belief – close to explicit

certainty – understanding

reality’s true purpose –

the reason behind our shared

world, planet – solar system,

universe.  Folk puzzle at

this conundrum – we feel we

should know, if only we could

grasp that slender truth, convert

instinct to blatant word.  So

maybe we trust ourselves, feel

and not cogitate – go with

the flow, let our beings get

 the idea – not define to

oblivion.  We’re part of

the tapestry, woven with

love into reality.

The whole is the sum of the

parts – underneath it all, we

harbour that secret knowledge.

You know the reason, you’re a

fundamental part of it.

'We're part of the tapestry'.
Brilliant poem.
