fdelano Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Toes dig into wet sand on the beach, dislodging scoops that stay until the next wave levels the grains as he travels slowly on old legs. Each bit of matter disturbed carries with it a makeup of molecules and atoms composed of electrons, protons, neutrons and God knows what. The world has changed, as everything does, always. A solar flare engulfs the Earth, killing ethernet and electric grids until it fades back into the pull of great gravity, causing our little rock to wobble slightly in its course. The balance of system orbiting shifts like the bits of sand that wash from his feet. Who can guess what astonomical and infinitesimal changes occur with each moment of what we call time. DNA combines and transfers to form another human, again and again through the ages, each completely original and independent at conception. Down the corridor of time speeds reproduction and creation until two are destined to collide because of similarities of thoughts and desires and intellectual curiosity. They write poems.

fdelano Posted May 21, 2012 Author Share Posted May 21, 2012 Thank you, Sir. We can't escape that we humans are also part of this amalgam of whirling material and subject to its laws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
