Written In The Stars

'fore the Nile flowed from primal spring      
Or mountains rose heavenward to sing          
Nor yet of stellar dust earth was spun        
Before sun and stars had first begun        
       
Before the galaxies first did flare          
Still unlaid the compass and the square          
When outer darkness claimed this place          
When all that was, was a void in space        
       
A singularity's proposed        
To explain what no one really knows          
So lets ask a question to be fair          
How many universes are really there        
       
It's said nature obeys certain laws        
So who wrote laws before nature was          
Or existed seven dimensions        
So forgive my misapprehensions        
       
What caused the spark that gave forth light      
And why is dark called eternal night      
When nothing was, was all clean slate      
I can't comprehend a "nothing" state      
       
Speak to me of ancient mysteries          
Written with diamonds upon ebony          
Undergirdding all and overarching        
Secrets which guide our life of searching        
       
"As above" say seekers, "so below"        
And its what's above I long to know      
Conjecture the curvature of space      
Space is an inner and outer place      
       
Every space governed by it's laws      
And to each then, its own primal cause      
For every cause comes it's own effect      
Ignorance is bliss, not intellect      
       
To ask childlike, what began it all      
About things we don't know what to call      
When "all" implies more than we foresaw      
In grown ignorance instead of awe      
       
It's the fixed leg holds the center place      
The movable that draws line through space      
One eternal round a circle makes      
Center, line, circle, then mark six breaks      
       
With the square, water and fire unite      
Upon the circle where marks alight        
From the first primeval point a star      
And at its center a shield safeguards      
       
A shield, to others Solomon's seal      
What's squaring the circle mean for real      
A circle, a star, a seal, a shield        
How do these lead to a quantum field      
       
In life not all's chance but all is choice      
The first cause of light came by a voice      
Vibrational science frequencies      
Are geometry of cymatics secrecies      
       
A given partical of matter        
Acts like a wave sans an observer      
But observers collapse the wave      
Simply observing how it behaves      
       
So is element somehow aware      
And then awareness to every sphere      
Or does through all one awareness flow      
The mystics, "so above, so below"      
       
What lies to point behind the shield      
What first gave light to heavens field      
Is this a multi-verse or just one      
What reality weaves becomes undone      
       
I love to look at night upon the stars      
Though I can only glimpse so far      
But what I see tells me there is more      
Than is seen on near or farther shore
