The Fifth Element

Aether is the fabric of our universe -
Tiny granules that transfer energy
In the form of waves ~~~
This goes on unseen constantly!

It propagates light and other waves,
Longitudinal and transverse
( Or electromagnetic )
Right across the universe!

Aether stretches far beyond
The laws of physiology!
Did you know that Aether
Is also a god in Greek Mythology?

In chemistry, it is flammable.
It is used as an anaesthetic.
It's a solvent used in industrial processes -
Google it ~ this knowledge is authentic!

But at the same time, 
It's a word that is seldom heard,
Most people have better luck,
Deciphering the songs of a bird!

But today, 'Aether' was on my list,
To master and triumph,
As if it was a fifth wish!

Oh, the gravity of this situation,
Like cosmic forces similar to Shakti,
I feel that I have learned so much,
Should I be yelling out 'Yahtzee'?!?

The king of the classical elements;
Earth, Air, Water and Fire...
Aether bends and amends our universe,
To be the most desired!

Anil Deo October 4, 2021 at 5:33 AM Robert & Natasha, this is a superb educational contribution. I am a pastor now, but yes, Indian philosophy speaks of the 5 elements: earth, water, fire, air, and ether. Perhaps, one may call aether/ ether, "space-ness"? thanx for another FAVE! shalom, shalom
