Imprinting Jehovah

by Lloyd Michael Lohr


Our hands grow idle due to the storms of chaos raging,
so are souls go searching,
along the journey we stumble up the singularity,
the chance to hold the secret eternal,
upon threshold of tomorrow,
discovering those ever illusive fingerprints of the creator,
sequenced remnants lingering from the first stages of life's inception.

In our hands we grasp the seeds of a future time,v the secret fruits from the cornucopia of discovery,
for these blueprints of life show us ancient images,
only now to be deciphered,
and from the remoteness of distant epochs,
fractals simmer to the surface of this cosmic stew,
and give up their secrets,
as the matrix of eternity unfolds before our eyes.

In the Mandelbrot pattern,
we have found the endless, cosmic nemeton,
immortality so close, yet illusive,
one step from Planck length,
one breath away from infinity,

as the perpetual procession of the twelve tome sky wheel,
turns ever onward,
undaunted by the raging seasons,
or human folly.
