To Understand - Time And Space Poem by Joseph PARASCANDALO

The spiral wave that un-coils through the galaxy that is space
Infinite was, is and to be our time of place
Earth’s inhabitants being part of this cosmic ride
A fact science has relentlessly try to hide

To understand the mechanics of our cosmic realm
Is to believe you are captain - command at the helm
Outward you embark what’s thought to be a straight line
But soon you will encounter a spiraling twist of time

Charting a course through this galaxy universe
Is to recognize what is up is again the inverse
Like an eddy-current you travel spinning around
Knowing always to the center, the moving Sun is to be found

All the planets in their own movement of time
Is to this same spiraling course if tracked, you’ll find
So to believe we are always where we always began
Is to admit, you do not fully understand

Every where one looks, the clues are before our eyes
It is all just a matter of avoiding the lies
From a the spiral of a DNA strand to the twist of a common piece of twine
The individual, twisting strand equates to travel through space and time

So shed the constructs of science, that comfortable cocoon
And recognize the true relation between the earth, sun and moon
That as partners we are on this wild, spiraling venture ride
Spinning in unison, within this galaxy, a fact that can no longer hide.
