Atom
O Quintessence!
That which makes us, shapes us,
Through the dirty day
From dust to dust –
Did they know, when they unleashed you, what they wrought?
Stellar eternity condensed in cataclysmic instant,
Iota wreaking death, and smaller blasphemy –
Brief man stealing star-power against the night.
Did he know, when he died the little death, what he was doing?
Not you, for

A School
Powerful is the art of school
To enlighten the spirits of the nation
To move burdens a cross the valleys, plains, mountains...
A school is a concrete atom of change
That flourish from time to time to challenge
The atrocities of the nation.

The Atom Cries in Silence
Beneath the crust of Saturn's breath,
Where silence swells and swallows death,
A single proton-left alone-
Whispers truths to shards of bone.
They built a star inside a cage,
Lit it young, then cursed with age,
It pulsed in hearts, then burned them black,
And begged the cosmos: “Take it back.”
A child once dreamt of breaking light,
Of feeding dark with pure insight,
But

Splitting the Unhappy Atom
You go to bed unhappy,
in a separate room I also am unhappy.
Neither of us know why.
We worry too much
about each other's unhappiness.
Maybe we should talk less,
unhappiness always starts as a word
in our heads.

Angles
If only angles could be calculated by degrees of truth,
Counted along perpendicularities measured by parallel reasons.
If only spheres were round,
Found amongst the globes hovering in the heavens we've named Space.
Circling nuclei like electrons to an atom, orbiting thoughtlessly around a point that never proved itself.
Heat and light suffice reason, it seems.
To be and hither thither,

Shape Shifting Soul
You might say that I'm just an atom,
But the universe, I extoll.
I view everything in creation
As one big shape shifting soul.
Even individual beings' bodies
Are really something more.
Microbial cells in flesh and bones
Outnumber human cells galore.
A body's cell confederacy disbands
When fate says the time is right.
No longer guided by human hands,
Its atoms spread in flight.
Scientists show atoms

Atom and Nucleus
Atom and Nucleus
Particles invisible to the naked eye;If there is, it's imaginary.
I realized that the atomic particles surrounding my throat were related to magic.
The sound in contact with each other;It was the breaking of pieces of ice.
I looked for the core in the earth's crust,but I couldn't find it.
Because it wasn't there,I thought about it

Requiem For An Atom
Interior exploration
with its usual playlist,
all lined up
then some mass is hurled
out of nowhere and smashes
into me, and I see myself
fly off into parts, becoming
little more than traces
of exotica smeared in light
across a dark space,
living but an instant
before annihilation
and nothingness,
remembered only within
the cold walls of an equation
and by whoever was there,
looking on,
measuring my

Atom Vs Adam
Did God create the oceans dry
His forests without greenery
to declare?~ Obviously not!
As every overhead cloud bears
proud witness, and every raindrop
can claim a rightful lush share:
We are partners all, in nature;
each for Mother's Pleasure made...
each with a starring role – but only
her man, using one finger of a hand
can turn countless plush gardens
into

One Atom
So we sing our songs
And take our steps
As joints grow red and
Knuckles thick, thick, thick
We release threads of Grace
Now we understand
"All the world's a stage" and
Sing silence is golden, golden, golden
Memories like dust in the wind
We smile at raindrops on the line
Leaves floating away
Floating away, so faraway
We delight going to sleep
A silly, silly sleep
Contraction and

Atom and Individual
- who are you
Really,
If one can go deep in mind, heart, Spirit?
Atom and ParamAtman
- a building without doors, windows
For you, the real you ( the I am)
Your Beloved is outside
Trying to get to you
- I Am within
Trying to meet my Beloved, our efforts
Will break down the walls without

Song and God As Singer - I Mean
I
If each of us is a song
We are not physical
If God sings us into life
We are resurrected beings -
Not physical either
II
You have believed when I talked 'wave'
And 'ocean'
It is the ocean that sings
Waves into existence, rides along
The entire ocean does the 'wave' thing -
Right?
So, too, God experiences through us:
Song, celestial vehicle, or waves
We merge into

Because it could crack Uranus
And that would be bad
Because we'd get mad
That God decided to brain us!
