MIND MATTERS II

            
             That we are here is evidence enough
             The universe is made of more than stuff,
             But rather is invested with a mind
             By which the blooming cosmos is designed. 
             Mere random rolls of dice could never build
             The complex universe we’re here to see,
             And such an enterprise was clearly willed
             Then surely through invention came to be. 
             The proof of this is that we’re here to show
             By our own deeds the way a mind proceeds:
             This very poem demonstrates the flow
             Of thought that fills a certain pattern’s needs, 
                 And thus it is the universe is made
                 From form and matter thoughtfully arrayed.
