RISE AND SHINE

How could this keen, exquisite consciousness
We own arise spontaneously from matter,
Or was it here originally to bless
All being with its grace? I think the latter.

The Logos or the Big Idea behind,
Beneath, above, around, infusing all
With levels of cognition is the Mind
Of God, or Spirit, wherein we rise or fall.

Our challenge is to grow in cognizance
And realize potentialities
Of consciousness within this cosmic dance
Entrancing us with dreams and fantasies,

For only when we come at last to know
The Logos in our being shall we glow.
