The Alpha

What set in motion the universe?

What was the cause and which came first?

What sent a ripple in throughout?

And what can do so without doubt?

I searched the cosmos all around

The physical, but never found

Initial cause before effect

Then thought of will in introspect 

How is it I can cause with ease

Simple effects, and how I please

All this arising with volition

Sentient desire on a mission

Does anything else wield such power

As awareness does hour by hour

I see no other force on earth

Nor in the heavens, but this First

The only instigating force

A Sentient Will Creative Source

The big bang by itself's a dud

Though science seeks beginnings bud

For plain as day the truth display

Will dominates--physics obey
