The All is the Singular
Karl Constantine FOLKES 1935 (Portland)
Nature is Oneness.
That governs plurality.
Singularity.
Is how it is referred to.
With respect to all matter.
All space and all time.
Make up all the galaxies.
Together as one.
Contracting and expanding.
Into singularity.
Singularity:
“Big Bang” conceptualized.
A presumptive source.
Of all physical matter.
The non-physical disclaimed.
The field of science.
Abhors the non-physical.
Calls as objective.
All that which can be measured.
All other is subjective.
Science has limits.
Its limits are its measures.
Of the five senses.
Excluding the dimensions.
That are metaphysical.
Yet these dimensions.
Are not inseparable.
From the physical.
Like yin and yang in nature.
All synchronize together.
O, the irony.
Both matter and non-matter.
Having the same source.
Are singular in nature.
The All is the Singular.
The All is Oneness.
A Taoist principle.
Oneness governs all.
All matter and non-matter.
That is singularity.
About this poem
Our scientific knowledge being empirical, cannot measure the metaphysical that governs singularity which, ironically, encompasses both the physical and the non-physical.
