I am noticing lots of pieces of writing out there which are trying to find ways of understanding the primal creation in terms of it’s echo in the universe that we have come to inhabit.  Of course, Cardenal’s masterwork continually points us in this direction.  So too does Edgar Allen Poe’s “Eureka: A prose poem.<\/A>”  And also this, from Bruce Cockburn:<\/p>\n
\nLord of the Starfields<\/A><\/p>\n
Lord of the starfields
\nAncient of Days
\nUniverse Maker
\nHere’s a song in your praise<\/p>\n
Wings of the storm cloud
\nBeginning and end
\nYou make my heart leap
\nLike a banner in the wind<\/p>\n
O love that fires the sun
\nKeep me burning.
\nLord of the starfields
\nSower of life,
\nHeaven and earth are
\nFull of your light<\/p>\n
Voice of the nova
\nSmile of the dew
\nAll of our yearning
\nOnly comes home to you<\/p>\n
O love that fires the sun
\nkeep me burning\n<\/p><\/div>\n
I’m on a bit of a kick with this stuff at the moment.  Know of any other pieces that fit the mold?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
