Microcosm
A nanosecond clock in a micro universe
dividing billion cells, in proteins immersed.
Cobbled together, ladders of DNA blueprint
double-helix twisted, gene-code with no hint.
A-T-C-G dialect, like a Shakespeare sonnet,
chord of notes with quirky programs on it.
Mother Nature database of zillion Giga Bytes
an elegant mystery, how so small she writes?
Sequence of little molecules, makeup diverse
In a Genome Microcosm*, Life is a Universe.
*The word Microcosm in Greek means "Small Cosmos"
