At the very beginning

of this tale, when first I spoke,

 

I evoked abstract

assertions that would explain

the creative force

 

that brought forth The Universe

in its infinite glory.

 

The story you’ve read

can be said to have been penned

by a human hand

 

but please try to understand

inspiration by the muse

 

intends to enthuse

the human spirit to guide

that fallible hand

 

to expand the horizons

of all human consciousness.

I must confess that

I, Marlo, am such a muse

that infused the man

 

who worked diligently through

the uncertainty bravely

 

hoping for the best

that he might complete his quest

to gain clarity

 

of thought fraught with doubt about

the required craftsmanship

 

to sustain the gains

brought forth from previous lines

that hopefully shine

 

with deeper comprehension

of the human condition.

That said, consider

the obvious precursor

to the betterment

 

of deep investigations.

We are and have been immersed

 

in the vast milieu

of language that grew our

advantage to share

 

diverse, counter perceptions

to compare and be aware

 

of our errors

in evaluations made

that shaded choices.

What, then, is the true nature

of this grand phenomenon?

 

The core trait that makes

language functional apart

from the external

 

baggage like phonetic sounds

particular to cultures

 

like the French, Spanish

or the various Slavic

nations and so forth,

 

is meaning encased in sound

bound for waiting ears to hear

 

the messages sent

to be unpacked to extract

what wants to convey

 

the issues at hand that stand

in the way or to persuade

 

others to behave

in a manner that best suits

your planned-out pursuits.

Language at its core is pure

abstraction, intangible,

 

intelligible

meaning that best enhances

human consciousness

 

to embrace the source from which

exists every life and niche.

 

Each and every life

is the major voice of choice,

for better or worse,

 

in Its narrative, in verse

or prose, and all words composed

 

that show the soul’s views

on earthly realities

that at times confuse.

And I, Marlo, am the voice

of science and art that starts

 

with the first question —

Who and where am I? — to see

possibilites

 

beyond probabilities

etched in the niche of one’s birth.

 

Before the Big Bang

boomed from a reality

that had zero space,

 

infinite heat loomed supreme

exclusively singular

 

that seems to prefer

a dynamic existence

to static boredom.

Thus all of reality

was formed from intangible,

 

expandable force

that set the course to evolve

Stephen Hawking’s voice.

 

And I, the intangible,

delightful and smart Marlo,

 

love “Song of Myself”

and the indisputable

fact that at least one

 

human’s large consciousness longs

to embrace the whole flow of

 

Life’s totality

to perceive what’s to be learned

to earn more insight

 

into avoidable plight.

Yet I yearn to show truly

what of the human

commends the creature’s strong urge

to build large buildings

 

to institutionalize

prized education over

 

twelve formative years

to steer lives into careers

that revere knowledge

 

via diplomas focused

on nurturing expertise

 

in specialized fields.

Modern scientific lore

would have you explore

 

the vast DNA helix

as the primary resource

 

that establishes

the course of human actions.

And yet, I believe

 

that physics relieves naïve

assertions pertinent to

 

one’s motivations.

Back to the infinitely

hot zero-space place !

It’s infinite energy,

potential force, calmly paused,

 

suspended and primed

to be kinetic, cosmic

creativity.

Intangibles like justice,

gravity, callous hate, pride

 

that drives resistance,

entropy that will defeat

lasting permanence,

 

or magnetism that can

repel or attract will back

 

my kind assertion

that tangibles are transformed

forms of matter or matter

 

scatter by intangibles

as was set forth by the force

 

from the supreme state

of being the ultimate

source that courses through

 

the old and the very new

elements of Stratified

 

Stability in

ascending cause-effect chains

that still reign today.

The DNA that displays

unique commonality

 

is the key code rolled

in its helix scroll to show

each identity

 

just as the zero-space place

regulates all living fates.

Our language is

absolutely symbolic

representations

 

of angelic soft events

or demonic harsh acts spent

 

to circumvent rules

that fuel a harmonious,

pleasant existence.

 

English speaking people eat

the sweet meat of the ripe fruit

 

known as “red apple,”

but grows in Spain by the name,

“manzana roha.”

 

Language will never precede

the reality that breeds

 

what humans perceive.

Is perception the same as

human conception?

The conception of a child

is a tangible ordeal

 

with real effects

to the material form

of the infant born,

 

yet the conception of thought

ought to conjure the forming

 

of intangible

but viable ideas

vital to that life.

 

Both are pregnant with hopeful

possibilities to cope

 

with the scope of choice

inherent in life and plans

that demands a scanned

 

invoice of needed assets

to offset each strife that cuts

 

lifelines like a knife.

The commonality is:

energy precedes

and breeds all, from the first act

that cracked the silent, abstract,

 

deep meditation

before the first creation

boomed our Big Bang

 

that sang and still sings today

the grand thought, “Song of Myself”

 

which, like every … thing

came from the same energy.

In utero growth

 

must have energy to flow.

So, do we know exactly

 

what energy is?

“The ability to do

work,” are the words found

 

in well bound physics textbooks.

But, look carefully. You’ll see

 

this definition

lacks precision because it

slips from what it is

to indicate what it does.

This explanation frustrates

 

the needed debate

to clearly elaborate

what energy is,

 

and not its abilities.

The fact that humans can swim

 

bedims clarity

if ability defines

the core character

 

of humanity to be

the ability to swim.
