DESIGN III

               The greatest cosmic mystery to me

               Is how we and all life have come to be,
               And whether our existence here implies
               There’re other beings out beyond our skies.

               Since we are here, how could that not be so
               That in the multiverses we now know
               Exist within the depthless cosmic zone,
               There must be life: we cannot be alone.

               But more important yet is knowing why

               Both here on Earth and far above our sky
               Such consciousness and curiosity
               Have manifested in reality.

                    How can we not believe there lies behind
                    All this a wondrous and creative Mind?
