Poetry begins in a new season
ideas from the past present and future collide
the alpha and the omega exist at once
No Beginning
No Ending
the ending is the beginning
a newborn star takes its first breath
at once with a dying galaxy
spinning into chaos towards order
collapsing into itself
eternity is a singularity
existing within a super black hole
fused at the center of time
a unity in disunity in timeless time
all existing at once

NO TIME
NO SPACE
NO VOID
NO NOTHING!

What is this?
But perhaps the beginning of understanding:

LIFE?
THE UNIVERSE?
GOD? -- GOD IS ALL -- WHAT IS GOD?

The be-gen-ding of all?
The be-get-ting of all?

Within-everythingness without-anythingness
the void within the void
the space without any space
a time within or without a time
God is all is God all if not then what?
Then is God neither God not then God
what then is God if God is not this?
A genderless gender
swimming in a ectoplasmic soup?
Who is God if God is neither even a who?
I ask this to anyone or to all
if this can be known with any certainty?

Knowledge begins at the end of understanding
metaphor is poetry without an allegorical end
but what is in an end my friend?
A circular thought of reasonless
reasoned questions?
A circle with an end or
an end without a circle?

much food for thought in this one.
