Geometry

~

What elegant geometry is this,

~

~

that builds itself day by day, cell by cell,

from the common elements of Earth? 

~

~

What innate intelligence puts every leaf,

petal and stem in its proper place? 

~

~

Such perfection bears witness

to the innate beauty of our universe. 

~

~

The Architect knows the structure of every cell,

every atom of existence;

~

~

consciousness permeates all that is or ever will be. 

~

~

As we look ever more closely,

observing the crystallization of energy into matter,

~

~

water into cellulose, thought into form;

we see the Artist’s guiding hand bringing life to all.

~

~

What elegant geometry is this,

growing by the roadside and in the garden;

a joyful expression of aliveness.
