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.
