Life is the Rule

1
Life is the Rule

"...know thou that every fixed star hath its own planets, and every planet its own creatures, and every planet its own creatures, whose numer no man can compute."

Baha'u'llah

In this boundless universe
each galaxy revolves,
while beneath their stars
intelligence evolves.

The planets of each system
are blessed with a variety of life,
and God in His wisdom
aids each creature in its strife.

From the smallest one celled creature
upon the planet Earth,
to the largest multicellular animal
that a distant star gave birth:
                   Life is the rule in the Universe.

The Manifestation of God

Beneath some far sun,
By what name do they call Him?
What flesh does He appear in?

Alien

What we call the Water of Life,
On some other planet,
In the minds of another race,
Is called the Ammonia of Life.

Is ther really that much difference,
Between soul possessing life forms?
Don't we all issue form the same
Spiritual source of life.

And the Spirit of God
Moved Across the Face of The Waters

Light flows
across the cold hydrogen
of interstellar space

Reflected
From subatomic particles
Light flows
