The Beauty of Being

Written by

Matthew Agona

Lo, He did not create all this in idle play,
the laws of physics were set precise that day

In all of creation can you see any flaw? 
All that exists follows strict Law. 

The notion to let this be the product of chance
...is not valid under any circumstance 

All that is and all that holds true, it is a
world nicely unraveled for You

From a void it began up to the creation of  Man,

A gift is bestowed unlike ever before,
the gift of Free Will, made to endure 

The Big Bang sent energy beaming, all
from nothing, but with Divine meaning 

The Mercy and Compassion He sheds upon you,
and yet there are those who consider Him untrue 

For what then a world, so intricate and dear should
a man have emotion, or even shed a tear

The stars as they provide light to
the go-ers by night,

and there is the sun as it shines for you in day
When you realize your one-ness with Him,
you shall be shown the way

Are you not a conscious being? With emotions so real and true?
Yet you have not considered just Who has created you

Inanimate matter, churning and coalescing,
yet you see in your gift of life, no blessing 

Where then in the entire affair, does this dead
matter give you soul and spiritual flare? 

All praise is to Him, The Creator, The Sustainer,
King of Cosmos is His occupation,
and you may pray to Him,
no matter which denomination

Look into yourself, and find love and become aware,
because Allah is He, who brought all this forth,
from a great Cosmic Affair!

The exotic particles, fulfilling a well-planned dance,
no more can one attribute
this event to some chance 

Love, Laughter, Sharing, and Kindness, 
keep your faith in Him, for 
He removes blindness 

Be true to one another and keep a smiling face,
for each of you, is a member of one unique Race

Come to love and share experience,
make peace and fond memories.

The world you live in is under your control,
He has given it to you..,
but if He so willed,
He could take it all back too

Notice your existence, take into account 
what makes you ..You. 

Is your existence just a mere chance? 
Or have you been gradually created,
that you may laugh and romance

In every heart, in every mind, there is
the beautiful plenum of sensation,
surely this has Divine Causation 

Lo! it is He, 

Who brings forth Living from the Dead
Your relationships, wishes, and desire,
in 6 days He created, and
NO, He did not tire 

Allah is the Beginning, The Ending, The All Encompassing...
He has let forth something from nothing
and in it so many things
It is He, who has given you meaningful feelings

From the dawn of Man, people have
pondered the origin of existence
Man's knowledge journeys' forth,
with no limit or resistance

Yet there are those who forgot Him
The Giver of light and knowledge
Yes, this is quite a privilege

In all of you, He has instilled
the knowledge of all things

In all the Universe, as you explore...
equations, formulas, theories galore! 

Nevertheless, the Universe is His, and you are a part of it
To it you belong, and to Him belongs all things

Glory is declared by the look of the Heavens He inspired,
billions of light years across.... imagination becomes tired

Do not forgot Him, who gave it to you,

make remembrance,

for it is the right thing to do

Contemplate yourself again, and now it may be concluded,
without Him...there is no meaning, your
life purposeless, a mind deluded 

Glory to Allah, Master of Being, He breathes into the void,
and it seethes with Law and and yet, Life!

King of the Cosmos is He,
all things are from Him,
that's right...
even you and me
