Cosmic (Wo) man will forever be a neotenous child [1]
Grains of matter coalesce in Her sprawled-out limbs
And beings appear in the developing bath of Her eyes
SHE is over-exposed in the daybreak of awareness

Wowww your cosmic babe shines in intellectual brilliance. Sublime and artsy muse indeed. I have an unpost Poem where I refer to the branches in the body so I liked your impressive inclusion of that. What u mean by birds in the body, u mean soaring imagination? Kudos and long may u write.
I am thinking that many wonderful " inventions" beyond human engineering capability can already be found in the natural world. Thus the natural world is like a textbook that can teach us about economy of means. No human airplane can rival a hummingbird's energy efficiency.
I would be interested in reading your poem re branches in the body. Could you send to my mailbox?
For more about the marvel of winged creatures, I invite you to read " TWO POEMS AND A DISQUISITION ON SKYLARKS"
Perhaps the interwovenness of matter's laws Is a tale told by spirit's struggle Perhaps it has inner vistas of becoming Perhaps an infinity of events must happen To support the material world at any moment - - - - - - - - - - - -
(cont.) i think i saw a cosmic babe shaking her booty on the corner of Main Street and Elm Ave. at midnight last night. NICE! ! ! (i mean the 'babe') thanks for sharing. i had the same question (as Madathil did) about the Chinese below your English. a Poet's note explaining that it is your (shorter) Chinese translation of your (orignal) English would be nice for readers to see. bri ;)
(cont.) Oh, i think you are being 'clever' using (wo) man to indicate a woman or the duo nature of the human species.? ? but it just confuse me! ! so far the poem is 'over my head', and thus not entertaining, but i do like these two lines: Pitiful nest-befouling sapiens Only glimpses his larger body in flickers...of course by flickers you MUST refer to more than one Colaptes auratus! (cont.)
Neotenous: meaning that characteristics of infancy are prolonged into adolescence and even into adulthood is sometimes used when speaking of ME, at age 70, ....and i'm PROUD of it! ! ! Especially regarding the characteristic of being CUTE! ! is wo meaning cosmic OR man in Chinese, ......or neither? (cont.)
I like your footnote (2) which stresses the right view that all that we have in this world are just a 'given'. It is all precisely pre-ordained however vehemently we try to uphold the idea of freewill. Well done, Sir. Congrats! BTW, what does the writing in Chinese below the poem say?
I also wrote a Chinese version of this poem, a bit shorter. I pasted it in below.
! Have you been reading India's Rig Veda? Your poem reads like the Veda's Purusha Suktam (Hymn Dedicated To The Cosmic Being) . You can google/check Wikipedia for more details. Needless to say your poem is profound, demands repeated deep delving and analysis as does the Suktam. (10)
I am very interested in Rig Veda. Thanks for recommending the Purusha Suktam. I will definitely look at it, and I want to read an analysis also.
I want to consider various angles on where intelligence comes from. What is its basis in the cosmos? Mechanists think life arises through blind, random collisions of matter. Creationists believe in intelligent design, but I would rather acknowledge the marvelousness of natural law rather than to locate the designer outside of natural law.
i thinks this mastermind poem penned on the strengthen the womanhood of this cosmos thoughtfully penned - t's time to learn lessons................r gathering light Perhaps the interwovenness of matter's laws Is a tale told by Her spiritual struggle .............................. To support the material world at any moment....///
