Breathe Dark Energy

Scientists know that
Dark Energy is thousands of times
more powerful than light.
But they have no idea what it is,
being utterly beyond
the models of classical physics.
Dark Energy and Dark Matter
comprise 97% of the cosmos.
All the matter and energy
that scientists know anything about
equal 3% of creation.
What is Dark Energy?

To bathe each atom of your flesh

in the most beautiful name of God:

That is Dark Energy.

Is there fragrance in a flower

that has no root in loam?

Is there wisdom in a mind

that has no root in silence?

Can fire spring out of a heart

that has no root

in the sorrowful music of love?

Surrender to the One
who makes a sweet sound

in your body

even though the strings break.

Listen to the whisper

that lures you back
into the emptiness

whose breath created the stars.

She is Dark Energy.
