Cosmic Challenge
This is more than a Creator’s world, it is his cosmos.
Dare we conceive of that?
The stretch of mind
that flings us far beyond the near horizons
of trees, mountains, moon
to the dark behind
the planets and the constellations.
Nebulae, dark matter, galaxies galore,
rays transcending reason;
massive black holes
appearing to challenge our cherished
beliefs
of physics and galactic cohesion.
Exquisite objects of wonder and awe.
More, in the subatomic where, similarly,
marvels exist
requiring observation
and interpretation
of particles that just momentarily subsist.
Consider the brain; cerebrum, synapses,
neurons.
The genome decoded, in part, by part:
computers with dazzling out-turns
embracing science and algorithmic art.

From astrophysics, palaeontology, oceanography;
oh! a myriad of disciplines
flow concept on concept apace,
provisionally unfolding the next depth of mystery
of a wondrous Lordship of time and space.
