Concatenation ... Peerless

Today’s word is “concatenation” ... a series of interconnected or interdependent things or events. (Dictionary.com)

Peerless
What sort of grand explosion?
     What concatenation of forces,
          (Far beyond our imagination)
Caused the everything within which
     we live?
In an instant it appeared ...
     an entire universe of possibilities.
Even our most amazing brains,
     full of mysteries and fantasies
           cannot conceive.
And to what purpose? All this frantic 
     energy? This chaos turned to light,
          and land and sky
     and planets and creatures and
          consciousness?
None? It hardly seems possible;
     hardly likely.
The coordination is extraordinary.
     Full of amazing interconnections ...
          fabulous intertwinnings.
Whirled fingerprints, ferns and galaxies.
     A common language.
          A singular genius.
