Poetry Poem: Atom
Within the atom lies an entire universe
the positivity
the negativity
the electrons
fly in waves
Or orbits of possibilities
Quantum not quantity
Holds sway
This magnificence is in me too
Be it cells, the enzymes
Hormones, blood or muscle
it’s profound,
it’s deep,
it’s within a field of energy
My heart leaps kicking heals with amazement
How our kind has come to be
This unique epiphany
Let’s also call it Joy and make me free
Free to fly.
Have you too flown to that place of peace?
That home of all, from which a call
Resonates each and every waking day
It’s in the invisible
The atom, cell or sky
We need to look
We need to laugh
We need to coagulate
Around the reality of nothing
To find it
All
