Again
I watch the rising
of our lovely private star
knowing
with it`s coming
begins the stirring of another day
yet only in my dreams
may I cross the vast distance
and view another form of God`s making
knowing
the suns among us
are like the sand upon an endless beach
too numerous
to be counted by any man
yet they exist without our measure
knowing
this unseen world
touched only by a searching dreamer
is ripe with life
living under the same father
feeling wonder and looking out to us
knowing
we are all brothers
and other lost Sons of God
Lee
Author notes
Before too many believe this another lovely sunrise verse, let me give forth some thought for light
Last week, astronomers were able to identify for the first time, a planet grouping around a star (A Sun)
with a singular planet within the "green zone" (moderate temperature zone) If we project out the minimum probable numbers for habitable solar objects, it still exceeds 150,000 plus planets. Please recall, "Our Galaxy", is composed of several hundred million stars, and there may be 250 Billion plus Galaxies within the universe. Therefore, it is highly unlikely we are the singular living human forms within all this vastness.
I find no biblical conflict with this thought, just as I do not debate the source of all the material required for God to create the mass needed to establish all these objects. In physics we learn that Matter can nether be created or destroyed but only converted in form. The exception to this argument is if we enter into the formula a God, who is not bound by physics.
So to this I say, we may have many brothers unknown to us, living at a distance that keeps them safe from our exploring, waring nature. We all pray to the same Alla, who by any name, we call our God
Thank you for reading my thoughts
Enjoy the day, Rick

Good
Your words speak with the power of belief and your mind set caress the page. This poem says little but points us to the path of self reflection with emotional markers that provide a starting point to our revaluations. You did a good job.

A wonderfully compelling write and a pleasure to read. I found your author notes to be equally as fascinating actually

Awesome thoughts and arranging of words here, my friend!
Bravo and kudos to you!
Our God is an awesome God and I believe that with God, all things are possible; even having brothers and sisters on some other planet in some other galaxy...
Very interesting and thought provoking and put here wonderfully
Wishing you light, joy, and love,

Hi Sandy
Sorry it took so long to answer

Thank you for reading, Rick

Stimulating...
This composition deals on a very sensitive subject. Through the author's note ~ I see a Thinker ~ and at the same time I see that this thinker is still under cultural trance; influences and imposition of the Roman-Greek empire.
The closing line states:
"we are all brothers
and other lost Sons of God"
Yes, there is only one kind of animal that doesn't belong to the FAUNA. That is the Human Race; and on this ~ planet called Earth ~ there is only one HUMAN RACE.
It seems that when the Human Race understands what is to be HUMAN, we all can talk about who is the BOSS of the Universe.
A suggestion: If one thinks that the composition is not enough to deliver the message, then one should not post it. Please bear with me: An author's note shouldn't take the readers' attention from the subject of one's posting.
In respect,
Andre Emmanuel Bendavi ben-YEHU

I understand your thoughts on my Authors Notes
I do this to stop the reader from meandering to far from the meaning
It allowes me to keep the verse pritty, without ackward sounding details
I caused quite a debate with my Notes on "Eleven Fifty Five"
I have no marrage to any philoshify or Diety, beyound Logic and Science
yet most of the world would not comprehend, if I did not offer a Name.
Ten thousand words, would not explane my beliefs
I am only offering possiblities I see
Our little rampent micro-minds, make us need a God
the finest minds of our time, are still working on our origine
I wish we had better tools to leverage the answers to our questions
Thank you for your thoughtfull comment, Rick

This is so romantic and beautiful and you have shown yourself to be a deeply sensitive and caring individual with this write. I have to read it over and over again because I like to see what is hidden in those lines. I enjoyed this very much.
-
One of the most beautiful of writes of yours outside the realm of your love poems...The form, and words have a serenity and acceptance of the brotherhood of man in the eyes of our living creator, God...
write!

Hi Rosemarie
Your always so kind
Sometimes I need to write outside my emotions
and give my microbrain a turn
I have a lot more thoughts on this subject
Thank you for the three smilies, Rick

Exactly the we all need to think, that we are one in this creation. Beautiful placed together. Thank you

If he is the greator of the first day

a few known, and many more unseen
Thank you for reading me, Rick

Your piece is amazing.
It is very beautiful.
~is ripe with life

absolutely brilliant.
And I totally agree. we couldn't possibly be the only life in the universe.

Antithesis
Thank you for saying brillant
pleased you agree
I just know how deverse and prolific life is
even in the most adverse conditions
let alone in the carbon rich blanket of the green zone
If we had the instriments, we would know already
Distance... is the great deterent

As I read your words...seems like a prayer. A telling prayer, something from insight and wisdom can bring forth. Your flare for words are never ending. I have missed reading all my friends poetry. Love this one...~Sie

Hi Sie
Thank you my friend
perhaps it is a prayer, unknowing
I have thought of this a lot since I became aware
of the immence numbers, and probilities
I wanted to say this in a thoughtful way
Rick
-
-
Excellent
"this unseen world
touched only by a searching dreamer
is ripe with life"
The humility of thinking in this way, to have affection for what you trust but cannot see - is grace in action. These words are bright notes in a dark amphitheater of space. Thank you for writing.
-

Hi Red Rocket
I liked your comment a lot
I just have faith that there is always more
than we can measure or see.
I can`t wait to see what is descovered tomorrow
that was a truth all along, simply unknown
Thank you for the applause, Rick
-
-
This is an amazing write - whatever the reasons for writing. V
iew it as a 'lovely sunrise verse' or view it as a probe into the possibilites and/or perhaps the probabities of another life form somewhere out there and you , find the deeper meaning within your words.
Wonderful poem.
Thank you so much for sharing, not just the poem but your thought and explanation of it.

I could have said much more
This is enough for now

Excellent write...
based in your personal knowledge, current reading and belief. Your Author's note is explanation enough although I might disagree, I will not do that here but am willing to discuss it if you want, elsewhere.
But I do like this poem Lee and I see it as heartfelt.
Your Spelling Fairy has read and responded below.

Hi Mr.
First, I haven't seen your faithful spelling fairy in a long, long time. I really miss her myself.
I remember listening to you talk about this before and I was so confused then and believe it or not I am just as confused now lol. Does seem as if you done your homework well. I must say that I am proud.
Oh wow I just read down a bit, and what did I see? yeah you got it, it was your spelling fairy. See God knows when we need a good spelling fairy the most. He is always looking out for us.
I love the whole piece, it is so you. But I must say that my favorite patr was
" this unseen world
touched only by a searching dreamer "
I love, love, love those two lines.
I somewhat believe in life, other than what we know of, and I don't mean little green man. I think there is so much more to it. I think I just learned a thing or two from you my friend. It is pretty amazing how you tie our God into this piece, for he is the maker after all. Great writing my Mr.
Loveandblessings2u & yours always
Love You Mr
Me ~~~

you are amazing! I enjoyed the poem...then I read your notes and was blown away by the depth and insight you have chosen to share with all of us here today. Thank you for that. I would like to add you as a favorite please. Peace and light, Kendal
-

Hi Kendal
I think most have a inkling, there are perhaps, many thousands of objects out there. It is hard for our little humanoide micro-brains to percieve the quanty and even more, the distances. Thank you for liking this and adding me to your favorites
Rick
-
-
A very interesting write. I do not look at as a religous write. You expressed what we all wonder about. Who are we? Why Are we here? Are there others.
-
Timeless etching of wonder
the suns amoung us
are like the sand upon an endless beach
to numerious
to be counted by any man
yet they exsist without our measure
knowing
this unseen world
touched only by a searching dreamer
is ripe with life
living under the same father
feeling wonder and looking out to us
"Too numerous to count"... beautiful reference to spiritual truths.
Spelling in a minimal point to such a masterpeace...
To feel it and paint such beauty is far more important than the fact that there are bristels left in the drying paint. ;o)
Namaste

My reference to "Lost Son" is more of an assumption that, we do not have an exclusive on sin or athiestizem.
I thank you , Rick

You and I have talked about this before, and I can't disagree with anything you've said. I think it is rather exciting to wonder about those other life forms, and whether they are anything like us or more like the monsters portrayed in so many alien movies. Being the optimist I am, of course I like to think everyone in the universe would be friendly.
What I love most about this is the spiritual connection you give it. It takes the concept to a depth I always love to see in your poetry, and in an area I don't think you've written about before. (Or at least not quite the same way.) Beautiful but simply put, my friend. And those author notes are fantastic! It is much harder for people to argue with hard facts. And while they don't prove anything, they do make the odds quite in favor of your theory.
Great job, my friend.
Much love,
~J.

Hi Trista
Years ago I took "Formal Logic"
This is like letting little kids play with Diamite
One of the arguments is, "that the absence of proof" is not necessarly a proof of non-existance. Before microscopes, we could not prove that Micro-Bioligy existed, yet it did, and in quanity, as we now know.
We lack the instruments and the means to define a proof for the belief, we only have our Probilities
Later Love, Rick

Hi Rick
Your "official" spelling fairy has arrived.
This may very well be the only poem I comment on today, as I'm still feeling pretty rough and now running a slight fever besides. 
But anyway...spelling first?
"with it`s comming" should be "with its coming"
"begins the stiring (stirring) of another day"
"and view another form of Gods (God's) making"
"the suns amoung (among) us"
"to numerious" Should be "too numerous"
"yet they exsist (exist) without our measure"
I would love to see you correct your author's notes as well, since I feel it is a very vital part of this poem and imparts some wonderful information. But...there are like 15 words there, so if you want you can call me and we'll just go over them that way.
I hate leaving comments like this, so I'm going to post this and then leave my "real" comment. You can delete this after making corrections that way.
Much love,
~J. -
A wonderful write of wonders and beauty. " the suns among us are like the sand upon as endless beach" One can imagine how many suns there could be that we do not see.This is a powerful write that makes us ask ourselfs how many of us are thier,,,,,,,I enjoyed this very much ... ~

Thank you for reading and thinking along with me
I believe you got the point
Rick

very interesting and intreging thought, definately out of our ego centric box
I love the thought of the possibility of life...seeming so far away, but in fact we may have brothers all under the same God.
In fact, this makes me think what we are doing to our environment and reguardless Earth will end...will another go on...
you got me thinking my friend
-

Hi Michelle
Glad you like the thought of this
I can only asume that all people everywere would be in his domain
This is somthing I have thought of for years
Your point on the enviorment may prove true

how calming I find this piece, just floating along the stars and gazing at the mysteries of the galaxies, the heavens , the earth, all that is covered under this canopy of Gods never ceases to amaze me...Magnificent thoughts here my friend!

Hi Julez

We are not alone
This is the message I read in this. But we have never been alone to begin with when we think about the presence of God. Never fear your Spelling Fairy is here to save the day. Here are a few spelling erros I have detected: Numerous, and among are the correct spellings in your poem. In your notes it is physics, establish, minimum, Galixies, source, niether, and destroyed. Thank youi for the read and for inviting me to view it.
Peace be with you
God bless

Exiting thoughts Rick.This write sets the mind into asking all manner of questions. I my
self have always believed that mankind cannot be the only lifeform and that somewhere out there amongst the stars are races of all kinds.I'm not into sci-fi but am facinated by the thoughts you have placed here . Put together beautifully my friend,nice to hear from you again. I hope all is well with you and yours....mal
-
-
Hi Mal
Thank you for your thoughts on this
One of the things I learned from Satiscial Analisis
As the numbers go UP, the probalities and posibilities increase as well. In this we are dealing with numbers that exceed the Trillions
(4,000,000,000,000) How can there be but One (1) within these numbers
This does not compute
Rick
-
-
What an engaging piece! You seem to delve into the mysteries of the unknown and bring them to the page with a query of wonder that life is only what we know personally. I, for one, believe there must be more out there than just us. This piece is so serene while reading, a calming effect to the heart as well as the mind. Wonderful and wise work, my friend.

Hi Lori
Wonderfull and wise is a good combination
There are only two posibilties, alone or not alone
It is impossable to believe we are a solotary creation given the posibilties and varity.
Rick
-

Every man and woman is a star Rick LOL. well well well you have written a great poem here - v. impressive.
Always I have believed in Alien lifeforms and not being a Christian I can believe or have an idea about whatever I like and it makes sense there are other life forms in our vast universe.

Hi Dawn
Thank you for reading
With or without the existance of God
I believe we are one of many manafestations
Look at the diversity within our own words
Rick
-

LOL @ "faithful spelling fairy" (I think I could use one of those as well). Here in this line "and view another form of Gods making" you need an apostrophe in "God's". I know it's a small thing, but it's like an illness... I feel compelled to point it out whenever I see it. lol. Same thing in "sun's among us". In the stanza following the above line, you need "too numerous". But that's all silly nitpicking stuff (that I'm known for ) and it's time now to say that I really appreciated the reason for this poem and the author notes. I'm not a Christian, so there's never been any conflict for me to believe in life on other planets. It's a theory I've always embraced. My mother swears up and down she's seen a UFO (and then casually implies I came about nine months later LOL). This was a lovely poetic way of following up this theory with verse
-

Hi Nicole
Your need to repair my distrought puncuation may be the same as my need to strighten pictures, I am sure I have advanced OCD in full bloom
Just so you know, I was an Athiest at one time, I was converted by acts in my life as well as a Classical Argument for the benifits of believing in God. It is too much to explane on here as I need to draw somthing to make the point
Since it is a possability you are an Alian, I regret you did not include a picture so I may see the outcome of this sacered union...lol
Later my friend,
Rick -
-
LMAO. Unless aliens look remarkably like librarians (you know... stern and humorless) then I doubt a picture of me would provide any shocking appreciation of such a union
-
-
Nicole
I am terabally disapointed
I can not imagine anything better than the enity we call woman, but I was very interested to find out. I held much hope for the possabilities
Gee Wiz, Rick

wow. what a thought! the poem (once again) was wonderful, and your author's comment explained it and it's purpose so well! i really never thought about it like that at all...brothers and sisters who we don't even know exist, but still praying to the same God! AMAZING!! thank you for sharing that thought! i loved this!

I remember you telling me about this,
and your poem really makes it a whole lot clearer.
Your author note made me understand, so thanks for that. I must say that I agree, who really knows for
sure, we may just have many brothers out there as you say, in the distance. This is a great write and makes one think. Is there anything you don't know about? you and your brother are 2 of the smartest people i know LoL. Thanks for sharing Mr.

I really don't know what to say. I love the poem, and the writing style. so many people use one type, and we don't see much variation. Great job. I enjoyed reading this.

for liking my style

I love your theories! I am so glad to see somebody who allows a scientific view with G-d. I too see that science can be G-d's work, something has to give!
Your poem was great, the ideas and concepts were put into words in a wonderful form. A great poem to read together with the after thought itself. Gentle, interesting and very clever!
-
-
Hi Feelings
Thank you for your thoughtfull comment
I think the most chalanging conflicts come from holding a ridged point of view as to the possabilties. I hold no conflict in the words of Genisis and the proven theories of evolution. It would be futal for God to introduce the notion of Gean Strands or mutations, to a people who did not own an Electron Microscope.
I believe he gave them in poetic words, as much as they needed to feel a history and a link to his being and Kindom. This is all very disterbing to the Fundmentalist, but that is the burdon carried, when we posess only one view.
Rick
-
-
Cool concept. That is so interesting. It would be so amazing if there were other people living on different planets. I think biblically it is a bit odd, but I don't see why God would limit himself to only one planet now that I think of it. A little scary to think about. Hmmm.
Anway, I liked the poem a lot. The form is wonderful. Makes the poem intesting to read and also gives it a nice rythm.
Thanks for sharing! -
-
Hi Beth
Thank you for reading me
Please read anything elce by me since this is not typicle
I think the odd feeling we experance with this thought, comes from our need to be the "One and Only" For so many years, we fought the theory that the earth was not the center of the universe. We now know it to be a mear Dot near the edge of a vast Galexy.
I think this bugs our enormas human egos

Beautiful, A Treasure
Rick,
This is such a delight to read. It is so warm and prayer-like, evoking a reflective, gentle glow within. This is nonetheless in your style, but different in many ways... more soulful, or deeper. An inspiration to read, expecually in the early morning when the sun shows its lovely face upon us. A treasure. Bob
