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
