In the Beginning

I begin to understand

why the beach is full of sand.

It is just a part of the tao;

the way the cosmos works, and how.

There is a cosmic consciousness

which assures our happiness.

Some call it who and some it.

This doesn’t matter a bit.

What holds the world together

will do its thing forever.

The way we measure our time

is what makes the cosmos rhyme.

Each universe has its own;

the time it started unknown.
