WHAT, ALL?

There is matter

there is energy

there is light

there is gravity

there are waves

there are particles

and those are just

the surface.

There is mind,

there is heart

there is soul

there is spirit

there is love.

For quantum's 

sake, and

deeper still

are muons,

and mesons,

electrons

and quarks

Physicists say

all these things

are evidence that

the universe itself

is conscious, a

conscious cosmos.

What?

I will defer to

Churchill who said

“short words are best,

and old words,

when short,

are best of all.”

so...

              God!

Amen.

The older I get the more I think that the universe not only is but must be conscious, otherwise we've been flying more blind than we'd wish to care for and that mother nature, who must surely be due her retirement and pension has been playing an absolute blinder in keeping all the unseen ticking along as she has.
If Jesus's does ever return and let's it be known, we will all know it by the look he has of a mechanic looking over your pride and joy, while putting and saying "it's gonna cost ya!"
I mean, I doubt even God would have thought to keep as many spare parts they'll need to fix all the stuff that we've made a bollocks of!

Lorry,
The real trick is to keep growing older. I'm an old Romantic, who has always felt there was more good in the world than bad. But I’, beginning ton wonder about how I’m seeing things. You know those “closed loop” situations where everyone agrees about something and never even find out there are other people who disagree, and when they do, they can’t even listen to then other side? Well I think I’m stuck in a one man loop… Man! I need to get out!

Remember what Neil Degreasse Tyson said about loops... in a world with less dimensions they are knots and then he went on to prove we already have flying cars and they are called underground trains. Unless you watch the video of him saying it you'll think that last statement is nuts, but he means that underground trains and liftedfreeways give us that other dimension.... but I'm still choosing the red pill! 😃

Very succinct and unexpected ending here. Perhaps a single religious term encapsulates all the scientific vocabulary. Unfortunately, God is probably the most loaded word in the English language. Because when you say it, scores of sects and philosophies claim only they know the correct definition.

That's so beautiful!
It made me cry...
You are amazing. You have such energy and all the things that make up all that stuff you're talking about, Volcano, you are the universe.
With all that you know...you sum it up to one word. God.
You know, even my father was too macho to write a poem and give God credit.
A real man doesn't worry about that.
My heart, my heart.

Vol, this is a marvelous construction of a poem. Well done.

I like it, A LOT! Great poem. I consider Paramahansa Yogananda one of my spiritual teachers, even though he died when I was a few months old. I once read a book written by one of his students who said if he asked Yogananda a serious question, he would be given an answer as detailed as required, but Yogananda would typically add a finishing remark: But remember, we are all just a dream of God.
