Talking with fellow Trionder soloxen last night about religion, I later became inspired to write a poem about our universe. Particularly, about how everything forms a distinct pattern. All is cyclical, and often circular. Are we still in the process of creating God? What goes around comes around, they say. Circles and circles.

I see a pattern Everywhere:
Circles and globes (three dimensional circles);
Shiny rings of fire.
Countless manifestations of this same shape.
Star-spangled galaxies wheeling through the sky:
That half-globe dome.
Earth, in circular orbit (more or less) around the Sun,
Escorted by the Moon.
Days give way to seasons,
Repeating every year.
Groundhog Days becoming
Groundhog Creations
Perhaps.
The list seems endless:
Hopkins’ dapples,
Planets, craters, cyclones, anti-cyclones, sea currents,
Balls, apples, oranges, nuts, potatoes,
Teardrops, heads, faces, eyes, mouths,
Holes!
Coins, bin lids, and plates;
Sunflowers, daisies, pansies,
Rings of mushrooms,
Circling birds of prey,
A cat curled in a circle,
Like a foetus.
Life as we know it
Is a circle
And a cycle too.
Birth, Death, Blossom, Wilt.
Reincarnation?
Renewal?
Clock-faced Time itself.
Eternity might be a circle,
Infinity the same.
Maybe even God,
Some way.
Perhaps we still are building God,
For Him or Her to travel back through time
Like Doctor Who
To Create The Big Bang,
And form this expanding Universe,
Thus taking us full circle.
Or maybe the Universe will fold back in upon itself,
Producing yet one more Big Bang,
In an endless cycle,
Of Big Bangs,
Amongst this ever circling
Multiverse.

With thanks to Soloxen for getting my brain cells going.
Before all,thank you.
I can’t believe that I can be inspiration to 42 years older man.
Hope that I helped you.Nothing is a coincidence as this life.
Your poem is amazing and I like when somebody writes from the bottom of soul like you.
I’m going to bookmark this and I’ll visit this great work every day.
Thank you for making my life better.If you have more questions about religion and about space,big bang etc..send me message.
With lots of love,best regards.
