Faith and Science

I miss the snow ... well, not really, just a little.
A snowflake's long flight from birth to death.
But is it end? To serve to our amusement?
Or transformation, that's not for us to get?
.
A snowflake, a human, God ... whatever.
Of course, we can just quantify in all directions.
But other stuff, that we can't touch and such?
Well, rules apply, but some with nice exceptions.
.
The life and death. The tree and stone.
It seems so obvious to us and set.
But future of a tree is coal, it's stone.
And plants will rise from dirt, I bet.
.
The circle was, the circle is and will be - no changes.
For billions of years and billions ahead.
The line of life and death, as we can see, is fading.
The good news is - we comprehend all that.
.
First step is made. The second? I don't know.
It all depends on me and you.
Too much responsibility? The load seems too heavy?
Well, you arrived on Earth. Just tell me aren't you?
.
The faith and science - the war was waged forever.
Where science failed, our faith was taking over.
But how far we get without knowledge?
So, reaching to the stars, beyond would be, well - never.
.
With fading lines, the circle, quantification,
The second step will be realization
That our bodies, souls do live together,
So, other Pinnacles continue in combination.
