Beguiling blessings

Come with me, I’ll show you where
The wonders sparkle beguiling blessings
Arousing perceptions of gratitude innate
To heedless humans in lack of deceptions.

Irrefutable eternal verities unfolding
Elegantly before disallowing eyes 
On the expanding canvas made of space
Moulding elements of plasmatic grace. 

Wind back the hands of time with me to witness 
The emergence of the first and most abundant substance,
Hydrogen out of recombination epoch 
Finely orchestrated by physical laws to form and fuse in stars.

Stellar nucleosynthesis where nuclear reactions
Are boons in disguise for new combinations
To bear lithium, carbon, neon, oxygen, iron,
The entirety of the essentials on the periodic table. 

Indulge with me in the mesmerising marvel 
Of watching those incandescent stars go supernova, 
Their shock wave thrusting silver and golden nuggets
Throughout infinity creating planets.

Now return to Earth with me and look around,
At the stars’ debris under your feet, feel the ground.
Take this glass of water, a cocktail of hydrogen 
And oxygen, breath in! Gaze at all that exists. 

Stare at yourself, made of trillions of cells,
Nourish the awareness that you are part 
Of the bewildering opus yearning for you
To live your life and honour with consciousness

The wonders sparkling beguiling blessings.
