One With The Universe

John Prophet

What
are we?


Why
are we?


How
do we?


It’s an infinite
place and we
so very small.
We
seem so very
much apart.
Do we even belong?
How could we
ever learn it all?


We look out,
we look up,
we look down
and we look under.
We feel so
 very much
cut away
from it all.
Why were we
born?
Seems
to make no
sense.


Trillions
of points
shining
as far as
the eye can see
and far beyond.
Information,
so much information,
more than
we could possibly
understand.
Are we
alone?
Are we
part of a larger
family?
Are we
individuals
or a cog in a
larger family tree?


Step by step
we try to build,
we try to
understand.
So much
to know
and so little
time.


Cannot do it
alone,
one mind
simply not capable
of knowing it all.


A collective
mind are we.
Building
machines to store
it all help us make
sense.
The further
we go
the more
we need to
know,
the more
we need to
rearrange
and organize.
Piece by piece
the puzzle is
built.


Knowledge
on top of
knowledge
is how the
model shifts.
Generation
after generation
the collective
mind
is built.
We are not
just cogs
in the machine,
but very much more.
The piece
of the puzzle we lay
becomes part of a
larger we.
Those who were,
are
and to be
are all very much
a part of a
larger whole.
We are all
in fact
one with the
Universe.
Not alone,
not apart,
but woven
into the fabric
of space and time,
part of a much
larger we!

    You capture the immensity of the Universe so well. Even with high tech, humans will never know. Only our egos make us think otherwise. As you rightly point out, if we are one with the U, we might make less mischief here on this minuscule planet. You may wish to compare notes with my own "Cosmic Cruise". Thanks for sharing.

      Not alone,
      not apart,
      but woven
      into the fabric
      of space and time,
      part of a much
      larger we!
      My favorite part of the poem.
