Have You Ever?

Have you ever paused to skim a stone And considered the interplay of physics, frolic and force? Have you ever driven a car to an new place in an unknown country And been awed by the meshing of technology, wanderlust and law that made it doable? Have you ever seen a dance with partners intertwined to music And pondered on the reasons why? Have you ever had a moment of passion that lead to your own addition to the global gene pool And marvelled at that coincidence of impulses? Have you ever contemplated the string of happenstance that led you, to be here, In this very spot, reading this? Whatever your conclusions, they matter not a jot. What matters is your wonder And feeling of joy in being just a tiny part of this infinite intricacy; Delight in this universal tapestry of unending motion.
