Faizan
((In Narrative Poetic Prose) (and semi hexameter))
Part I of III
Forevermore, and from the beginning
In an endless motion everything goes
Flows unruffled-: the heavens above,
The pit below, the planets, stars, and the
Cosmos; bodies, nature, space, the abyss,
The flashing of thunderbolts, heat, cold,
Volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and the
Vastness of the whole: follow their course
Through whatever travel time allowed them
By Almighty God-all is on the run-
All have a journey, all in the spread of
Things, spread to every end of creation!
All motion in the universe goes, flows
Devoid of end. Man with his very
Eyes, can see things that bind things.
See space and time bend, matter quiver!
Hill to hill, mountain to mountain, sea to
Sea, land to land's end, and to sea's end, and
The rivers, tributaries, and nature, - for
Nature guards all, the full body. One feds,
The other, and all breed humanity by
The holy limbs of God. If driven apart
From its fit, by the absurd, pray God sets
It back in place; or that God would not allow
It in the first place! For it would have better
Not to have been, than to have all been
Scattered wide and uninvited. For by
Fact, nothing got started or stabilized
By itself, and each and all set, in its rightful
Place. Nor did primal germs say one to another:
How each should move, to be driven;
Compacted, and changed to make a flower
Or a plant, a bug, a tree... Then by trial
And error, attempt to make a mortal!
God forbid this kind of motion and thing
For infectious germs to have precedence
In creation, if so, should they decide
Then to make great rearrangements what then?
Contiguous touching, connecting, attached,
To make humankind into imps and goblins?
But God has obstructed such a design,
Preserved what he has, threw proper motion,
Matter to flow in the cosmos, oceans.
And gravity to wave like the seas from
Explosions; and for the forces of earth,
A canopy; and, an asteroid belt, lumped
Barriers, built to move and sway, to cloak
Earth, from invaders. And through suitable
Balance and motion: earth spins like a top,
Counterclockwise; and the moon orbits the
Earth, counterclockwise, and the earth orbits
The sun-unmovable-counterclockwise...
