Notes About The Poem

Touching Energy

Matter doesn't exist
Einstein says it's so.
Energy appears
and off it will go.

Beliefs on matter
have bent basic creed.
Energy spinning
seen at slower speed.

Things aren't so solid -
quantum particles,
against all science
journal articles.

Looking into space
for true solutions,
trust in our minds to
resist illusions.

In this universe
we know this so far
be it an insect
or long away star.

When nature vibrates
things take effect
atoms touch others
electrons connect.

Doesn't really matter
if it's dark or light,
what matters most is
to point beyond sight.





Einstein mused that matter (and time) did not exist
and they were confused constructs of humanity -
the essence of everything for Einstein is energy.
Pen illustration of Einstein pointing "Touching Energy"
by G. Gaul demonstrates that everything, everyone
is energy.
