Analysis of The Source Of All



For this piece of verse to exist
It has to have a source,
Which brings to mind
The image of a labourer
 Scattering seed, in the wake
Of harrowing, for the sole purpose
Of germinating, growing, and
Flourishing.

Thus, within existence
Of which we are a part
Dwells the person
Who created it.
For like an artist
The creator of all cannot be
Separated from the work created.
Thus, it is interesting to experience the
Reality of our source…experienced and
Confirmed by mystics throughout the centuries,
Who encountered our source and the source of all,
Personally.
