After making their separate roundabout journeys through the Primordium, some of the wise ones meet in the Palace of Water. This is a concourse where the ancient intelligences like to hold peripatetic gatherings as they pass through. The vaulted spaces stir with sounds of purling rapids, with the boom of surf, with sighs of rain on foliage, with declamations of streams in deep ravines. The walls cast wavering spangles across the strollers who come here to reflect on their ongoing projects.
If we picture the universe as a vast quantum matrix, then these old intelligences have been at work for a long time, serving as nodes of far-reaching connectivity...way down there in the foam of vacuity, always dreaming up properties of matter, condensing their far-flung songlines and discussing what adjustments of laws would pave the way for coherent forms...what mesh of material properties would allow such forms to embark on an evolutionary course?

GOOD ONE FOR SPIRITUALISTS THEY WILL LIKE IT THANKS FOR D INVITE DO READ MY MOMS SMILES AND FEW OTHERS GOOD ONES THANKS FOR THE INVITE THE ONLY WAY TO ACK IS BY READING THEIR NO ONE RETURNS TO URS A SECOND TIME TOO MANY POETS IN Q U R JUST SUCH A ONE ME TOO
'Their idea of water became an edifice where they could meet to discuss the properties of matter across intersecting realms...a convenient site from which to survey the landscapes of possibility space.' What a brilliant thought! This fluid nexus is indeed the cradle of life! We all know that it was in water that the first life forms ever originated! I am really lost in the plethora of ideas in this treatise on water!
This is a pool of scientific knowledge augmented by poetic imagination! I wonder at the profundity of ideas you have shared in this amazing write! I
thoughtful, brilliant, intelligent and experimental writings it's great philosophical and scientific insightful writings on the creation and its eternity by using WATER and PALACE multi-talent combination the old intelligence with the palace of water and our present discovering knowledge change is a seed of revolution and it comes on the chariot of evolution; the beginning of the creation is an obscuring egg of our inquisitive mind and the end is too ..........
This is not just a poem of a particular thought or action, it is a deep and profound analysis of the creation and evolution of water. Water is the elixir of life. Denis, you have so beautifully elaborated the flow of water from its origin. Most wonderfully penned in prose format with a lot of knowledge on the significance water in life......A full score!
Water, the creator of conscious being, through thermals on the ocean floor. What a story there is in water and its place in evolution and so beautifully celebrated in this great poem. It has the same quality as St John Perse's collection " Amers" (sea bits) and its evocation of the seas. This is poetry, not prose, in the true sense with a fine development of your imagery apart from other features which bring the subject to a lyrical life.
It’s impossible to overplay or overemphasize the importance of water, Denis. The opening of this piece made me think of the water-wonderful Plitvice in Croatia. -Glen
I do very much appreciate about your comprehensive knowledge in the subject matter. I don't think that anybody can really excel you in this area but I wish to add one or two points here. Prose Poem is not under my favorite category. However, you are an experienced man in this area. I don't think that readers will have enough patience to go through such lengthy passages. At least, I haven't! As you can see, my idea about poetry is different. Thanks for inviting me to read this poem.
Existence is a combination of elements..within and without..with elements it is creation..without elements it is existence...Five elements are the root to creation... From earth to space....Beyond elements is mind . beyond mind is intellect...then intelligence..ego..and beyond that is self...the vastness. Existence has the intelligence of its own..Creation is automatic without doership..
If you feel the need for intelligences behind it all then I believe you are on the right track nearer to the truth than atheism. I do like to remember that eminent scientist Einstein said that, ' God does not play dice with the universe" , so I believe he stated that after scientific observation, thus there was no experimentation. The creator calculated everything accurately and precisely to create the universe and life. Kudos for your brilliance here poet.
Indeed, I think that some kind of calculation must have been involved in the Creation. I think that intelligence must have been (and still is) at work in structuring the natural order. Otherwise, how could the natural order have provided conditions allowing our kind of intelligence to arise?
Our holy book mentions water as vital to all life from the beginning of time so I was delighted you drew the same conclusion. You deliberate and elaborate in a very intellectual way that makes me time travel to the beginning of creation in primordial times, when God began creating everything out of water, which I like to refer to as the primordial liquid, soup whatever.
Fascinating thoughts, Denis. Water is certainly an integral part of life’s story. I have also been thinking about that recently, but your imagination operates on a higher plane to mine, I think! Yes, certainly your awe for creation comes through. For my part, I feel awe for the choreographer, not just the ballet; for the composer, not just the music. Chance forces coming together intelligently to make something as awesome as water just doesn’t seem logical to me. But thank you for sharing.
I really like what you said about water in your message of May 1: I SEE WHERE YOU'RE COMING FROM. YES, THERE IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING WONDROUS ABOUT WATER. IT'S NOT JUST REDUCIBLE TO ITS COMPONENTS.... LIKE A PAINTING CONTINUES TO TESTIFY TO THE ARTIST AND IS NOT JUST A COMBINATION OF PAINT COLORS.
But, I often suspect that we are perhaps constricting ourselves in taking it for granted that life is exclusively water-bound. In a poem of mine somewhere I remember to have wondered if there would be beings elsewhere in the universe taking acid baths and raising acid drinks of cheers. Thanks for the profound poem. (10)
That is a lovely piece of writing which throws up a lot of ideas. You have just gone unbridled like an escaped kite. Yes, life without water is unthinkable. Yet, we do not pause to think so wondrously about it as you do. Well done.
As the poem evolves it becomes an ode to the fabulous properties of water. The poetic and spiritual elements woven into it make it a true work of art. Excellent.
