The Answer Poem by Joe Graves

it is alive in all that lives
it is alive in all that has never lived.
It is alive in all that is.
it is in no One place
It is spread equally through all things.
it is the pattern
it is undeniable
it is self evident
it is the answer
To know the answer
is to know yourself
to know others
to know of no other.
to see it in the big.
to see it in the small.
to see it in nothing,
yet see it in all.
it will not look for you.
you must look for it.
it cannot be told
it must be seen through your own eyes.
it is not in words.
it is through thought.
it cannot be passed on
or it is only a snapshot.
it must be eaten.
it is not random
it is intelligent
it is not designed,
but manisfested. it cannot be broken down further
it is an element
it is the answer.
and it will not look for you.
