Whoever it was who searched the heavens with a telescope and found no God would not have found the human mind if he had searched the brain with a microscope.

One can search the brain with a microscope and not find the mind, and can search the stars with a telescope and not find God.

We see past time in a telescope and present time in a microscope. Hence the apparent enormities of the present.

Willo!
Telescope, scope, cope, microscope;
Conscious,
Willo!
She's out still in the snow alone;
Willo, Will, ill, oil, will;
So often and so long!
And like a satellite orbiting Mars.
Surface, face, ace, trace, race, brace;
Subconscious,
Very serious!
Obvious;
Tail, tale!
With comments and suggestions.
Trail, trial!
Like love's Red Carpet;
Light, delight!
To unite more people;
But, free! ! If need be.

I Envy Nothing But One
I don’t envy the angels with wings who can fly
I’ve been soaring in the beautiful sky of your love
I don’t envy the beauty of the rainbow
You’ve made me the most beautiful woman in your love
I don’t envy the freedom of the dolphins swimming in the ocean
I’ve been swimming in the ocean of your loving eyes
I don’t envy Shakespeare for his love poems
I’ve become the greatest poet since I met you
I don’t envy Romeo’s faith to Juliet
You’ve never turned your heart from me, not even once
I don’t envy the softness of the dew the morning has
You’ve been kissing me gently with your tender lips
I don’t envy Monalisa’s wonderful smile Leonardo has
I’ve got one of mine on your face
I don’t envy the sweet sound a harp has
I’ve got a sweeter one when you whisper in my ears
I envy nothing but one
The way you love and make me feel this way

You Watched It Close Under Microscope
You watched it close under microscope.
Closer than anything you watched most
You watched it close under microscope.
Closer than anything you watched most
And now you don't believe,
What you see.
You watched it close under microscope.
You watched it close under microscope.
You watched it close under microscope.
You watched it close...
And still you don't believe,
What's there to see.
You watched it close under microscope.
You watched it close under microscope.
You watched it close under microscope.
You watched it close...
And still you don't believe,
What's there to see.
You watched it close under microscope.
You watched it close...
And...
Not to believe.
You watched it close under microscope.
You watched it close under microscope.
You watched it close under microscope.
And still you don't believe.
You watched it close under microscope.
You watched it close under microscope.
You watched it close under microscope.
And there to plainly see.
You watched it close under microscope.
You watched it close under microscope.
You watched it close under microscope.
And still you don't believe.
What's there to see.
You watched it close under microscope.
You watched it close under microscope.
You watched it close under microscope.
And there to plainly see.
But you can't believe it masked.
You watched it close under microscope.
You watched it close under microscope.
You watched it close under microscope.
And there to plainly see.
But you can't believe it masked.
No.
You will not believe it masked.
Not if...
Your masked.

One’s drive
I should marry such a woman
As others would envy me my wife.
I should attain such a position
As others would envy me my place.
I should construct such a building
As others would envy me my house.
In absence of others, I have no drive.
Envy, not love, influences one’s drive.

My Telescope
my hearts beating
noticably without warning
racing this tune
writing a poem
stuck in the underworld
forever starless night
light abandoned me
then I saw the stars in your eyes
you pulled me out
like a lifeguard
giving me back breath
awakening my soul
Now I see
A myriad of stars
I look up
I see you
Flashing and blinking
Your shooting
Across the night sky
In through
My telescope
My telescope
The universe
Has never looked so grand
In all my years now
Possibility floods in
Like molten lava
You branded me a new name
Now I see
A myriad of stars
I look up
I see you
Flashing and blinking
Your shooting
Across the night sky
In through
My telescope
My telescope

i envy you
you do not have to write anything
to create meaning to your life
i envy you
you enjoy life without thinking much
you love and you are loved in return
i envy you
for you belong to someone
you never belong to me
here i am
moving in circles
nauseated.

They Are The Ones That Others Envy
I have issues with people who leave people...
Begging on the streets with nothing to eat.
Or treat others like they're not even human equals.
And then look disgusted like they are diseased
No human being can teach a cat hygiene.
Nor can you teach a grown up to be clean.
Nobody should be teaching who to respect.
That should be a given and not a pick to peck.
I have issues with the snots with turned up noses.
As if they have scents of champion roses.
Ooo I can't believe these people are the ones who stink.
And-they-believe,
They are the ones that others envy?
Who made them runner up for fresh sainthoods?
Who showed them evilness was anything good?
Who gave them rights to think they beam like light?
And who told them they approve the Sun that rises high!
Yes I have issues with the snots with turned up noses.
As if they have scents of champion roses.
Ooo I can't believe these people are the ones who stink.
And-they-believe,
They are the ones that others envy?
They believe,
They are the ones that others envy.
And they believe,
They are the ones that others envy.
They believe,
They are the ones that others envy.
And they believe,
They are the ones that others envy.
I have issues with the snots with turned up noses.
And they believe,
They are the ones that others envy.
I have issues with the snots with turned up noses.
And they believe,
They are the ones that others envy.
And they believe,
They are the ones that others envy.
And they believe,
They are the ones that others envy.

A Lover's Envy
I envy every flower that blows
Along the meadow where she goes,
And every bird that sings to her,
And every breeze that brings to her
The fragrance of the rose.
I envy every poet's rhyme
That moves her heart at eventime,
And every tree that wears for her
Its brightest bloom, and bears for her
The fruitage of its prime.
I envy every Southern night
That paves her path with moonbeams white,
And silvers all the leaves for her,
And in their shadow weaves for her
A dream of dear delight.
I envy none whose love requires
Of her a gift, a task that tires:
I only long to live to her,
I only ask to give to her
All that her heart desires.

Who Discovered The Mirror?
Who discovered the mirror?
We don't, at all, remember.
To show our faces beautiful,
How much it's really useful?
Above the wash basin
The glittering teeth clean
We see first every morn,
Before the day starts on.
The curly hair to comb,
The mustache to trim,
The oily face to foam,
How it helps at home?
Is there any beauty parlor,
Or a fancy dress store,
Or a modern shop tailor,
With no full size mirror?
Inside the ladies hand bags,
Or the gents coat pockets,
How the tiny mirror hides,
For their face-touch up uses?
To see the distant stars,
Or to find the tiny microbes,
How it serves a giant telescope,
Or a small but sharp microscope?
Mirror, mirror everywhere,
With our life for it to share,
Thanks to the unknown discoverer
For this all-time useful mirror.

Drink Me Eat Me
the known world keeps
expanding contracting
with wondrous profusion
though potions drunk
wizard cakes eaten
are no longer necessary
when venturing through
kaleidoscopic looking glass
nor are rabbit holes needed
spy glass, magnifying glass, telescope,
microscope, radio telescope,
electron microscope, Hubble telescope,
amazing slices of perceived creation revealed,
expanding perceptions cosmic and microscopic
in a garden of rabbit hole worm hole replaced
an electron microscopic
images the sample surface
by scanning it with a high-
energy beam of electrons
in simple raster scan pattern
it’s a kind of magic?
funny how we are never
far from the garden?
A raster scan, or raster scanning?
analogy; raster graphics, pattern image storage
transmission; used in computer bitmap image
systems; raster from Latin rastrum (a rake)
seek meaning; derived from radere (to scrape)
knowledge back in the garden rake over meaning?
rake earth over seeds
seeds of embryo ideas
fertile bed scatter ideas
choice seeds will grow
the pattern left by the tines of a rake,
when drawn straight, lines of a rake,
resembles parallel lines of a raster,
line-by-line scanning creates a raster
a systematic process of covering
an area progressively, one line at a time
is the rectangular pattern of image
capture and reconstruction in television
although a great deal faster
similar in most-general sense
to how one's gaze travels
when one reads text a poem
rastrum, an instrument
for drawing musical
staff lines, as we seek
celestial music universe
composed, in cosmic song
funny how
a Hubble telescope

electron microscopy
a crystalline assembly
of electron diffraction
patterns of unstained
crystals show crystal
lattice sampling of
the coiled-coil molecular
transform to a resolution
beyond... a ‘spot-scan’
method of electron imaging,
micrographs of unstained
crystals have been obtained
that visibly diffract laser
light from crystal spacings
as small as... a projection
map was calculated to...
using electron diffraction
amplitudes and phases
from computer-processed
images, the projection map
clearly shows modulations
in density arising from...
the first time this type of
modulation has been revealed?
truly we tumble ever further
down the rabbit hole
in quest controlled descent
crystals have p2 plane group
symmetry examinations of tilted
specimens shows the unit cell
only singular one molecule thick
possible modes of packing
of molecules in three
dimensions are discussed
eat me drink me
in ever smaller bigger

Distinct Pets
Let this telescope be of the rats and cats,
Seeing them look like drink and bad habits,
Eroding the soul as we speak like their tongue.
Make them like the white rabbits, cozy in their sleep
And small in size, splendid with their waist,
Like an earl who is rich and ready to sacrifice.
With the red-hot poker, believe in comforts
Inside a race-course, where no housemaids lurk
And the animals are full of themselves as cartwheels.
Let the microscope do its professional understanding
When the housemaids run into a wall,
Infested are the rats and buzzards of this age.
I see on the roof a magpie, and the pattering of ladies
In costumes of silk, madams who wear the air
Like canaries of the old order and free speech.
The meetings are adjourned once they begin,
One maid is a jack-in-the-box when in a hurry,
Interiors of the soul shine with easiness.
The atom has been as wonderland, as the globe,
And all one sees in this tent so complicated,
Where pet animals are tamed to the right distinction.

Faith
Questions about the seen and unseen
How far can science really reach?
Darkness plagues us under the sun
All our life we know death will come
Mortality defines our precious time
The universe is there we can't deny
It is practical to assume a first cause
All we gain can so easily be lost
By knowledge we can never know
Which way we should travel and go
By revelation God reveals his truth
To those that hear his good news
Materialism says its all a big wager
The bible says it is fallen nature
Philosophy says change the situation
Gods love brought a cross of redemption
Nietzsche teaches beyond right and wrong
Evolution says it is all the weak and strong
Universals seem to lose their voice
Relativity makes everything choice
Why do we feel so much, laugh and cry?
Those that hear the divine call know why
Why can't they really explain to us love?
It doesn't make sense without God above
Kant said two things astounded him
A starry night and the moral law within
Who made those wondrous stars too shine?
Be honest, do you ever stop and ask why?
Look through a microscope or a telescope
Do you really think you will ultimately know?
Look at a flower in the blossoms of spring
Hear the beauty of a sweet song bird sing
They complicate it all again and again
But I believe in a kingdom with no end
They try to tell you that death ends it all
I know I will see loved ones before long
Do you think they really know?
I think faith is a much nicer road
We hope you find on your search
God created the heavens and earth

Sonnet: Envy
In human hearts, the fire of Envy burns,
All night and day, since birth until one’s death!
No matter what lessons the mind still learns,
The eyes of Envy stay green till last breath.
Why should Envy occupy the heart’s core?
Does God not give talents to all the men?
To everyone, He opens a new door!
Just sinless labor will earn him Heaven.
But not all men are made of same substance;
Yet, plenty can be done in any field;
One’s toil’s outweighed by environment and chance;
To suppress others, powers never wield!
The poison, Envy devours any heart,
And spells chaos and doom for any art.

Envy and Admiration
Oh how I envy my sister
Every time she talks
Every time she walks
Every time she goes somewhere
I envy my sister every minute of the day
She talks like there’s no stopping her
She owns her walk all the time
She gets to have freedom to go wherever she wants
She gets to drive when she wants to
She is the lucky sister that I very much envy
But yet I still admire her with all of my heart
I admire her for her strength
I admire her for her willingness to speak out
I admire her for her ability to stand out in the crowd
She is the sister that I admire every minute of the day
How can I envy and admire her both?
She makes my insides fill with jealousy
But yet she fills my heart and brain with admiration
After confessing this, I still feel envy and admiration for my older sister…will it ever end? ? ?
