Chelsie Dwello Poem
Waking up in the morning
The stars late at night
Creative expression
A cold cup of tea on a hot day
Doing what you really want instead of what you think you have to
The smell of fresh bread baking early in the morning
A warm hug from a close friend
Each moment that passes by and knowing that moment could be the last
Realizing there is no need to search for something that has been there all along
Life itself

Chelsie Dwello Poem
Somewhere in the darkness a tiny wave of energy begins to oscillate
It sends ripples of potentiality across the vast ocean of space
The ripples turn into larger waves
And create a shock that reverberates throughout the whole of the cosmos
Tiny particles millions of light years away respond to the call
They band together as one and form a tiny circle of spinning electrons in loose orbit
surrounding its nucleus
They jump up and down the quantum ladder
Spinning faster, they become little balls clinging to one another
Glued together by their opposing forces
Life begins to take shape
The message has been sent
What form it takes is up to the collective
A ball of mass and energy spins alone in the darkness, creating life as it turns
Water boils as tectonic plates shift and collide
Proteins bond as the double helix begins its first spiral
The message has been heard
Cells float along in the protoplasmic jelly
That will be home to the first amoebic life form
They divide and replicate as the first link in the chain is created
The code has been written
One celled amoeba evolve into algae that floats along in the primordial ocean
A symbiosis has begun
A pair of eyes peers through the murky water
Intelligent life takes shape
It swims to the edge of the ocean where it encounters land
It takes one last look back at the giant womb that gave it life
Curiosity takes over
Throwing its body upon the land and gasping for air
It ventures into the unknown blazing a trail for the rest to follow

Chelsie Dwello Poem
At the heart of everything lies the mathematics of synchronicity
Chance events send ripples throughout the universe
Causing a chain reaction of effects
Like dominoes toppling over toward infinity
They manifest themselves into infinite realities
Out of the infinite ways that the 10x1040different particles can rearrange
themselves
We are but one arrangement
Random notes written on the musical scale of existence
Randomness is a cosmic DJ that spins the turntable of life
Everything that exists is born out of chaos
And that is beautiful
Random patterns generate through space and create
A blade of grass
A tree
A sunset
A drop of water
The number 10x1040

Chelsie Dwello Poem
A plastic bag blows down the street
Like an artificial tumbleweed it floats by in my brain
And I can sense the energy that created it
Protons shift into neutrons that melt into electrons
I am a witness to the glory of the invisible
It glitters in my brain and glows like a neon sign
And I am reminded of something a teacher once told me
Nothing is solid
At the most basic level of existence
All matter melts into an oscillating jelly of energy
Standing under my umbrella on a rainy day
I watch the hydrogen and oxygen molecules trickle down its surface and melt into
the pavement
I start to think about the intricate balance of energy and mass that must exist
In order to make all of this possible
The weight of it collapses my brain
And I am reminded of a rubix cube
The solution is just out of reach
But it’s there

Chelsie Dwello Poem
Date books, planners, calendars
Sunday, Monday, Tuesday
Today, Tomorrow, next week
Next month, next year
Nothing but words used to section off blocks of time
But time does not exist as a concrete entity
It is just a mental construct imposed upon society
So why not just toss all the planners, calendars, and date books into the ocean?
And watch them sink through the abyss
There is peace in letting the day flow
So why not just let it all go?
And press the reset button in your mind?
Just to pause and watch life unfold breathes life into life
And therein lies the meaning
