Ode to William Blake..
Is the light
feeling pain
when photons fall
in drops of rain..
Twin pillars
of particle and wave
come crashing down
upon a shore
that is no more..
Nor ever was
or has ever been
yet comes round again
or so it seems
Just think of it
As waking dreams..
In the blink of an eye
It’s here, it dies..
The strange effect
of a bouncing ball
that echoes off
an imaginary wall,
yet holds it’s being
amid something small.
I am immersed
In timeless soul
a smaller part
of a greater whole
Held all in one
Quantum glue
dependent solely
upon my view
What do I see
apart from me
I see me and you
and yet not two..
That tree is she
and also me
reflected by
the light of sky
Mirrored in
a fluid eye
across all space
across all time
She floats up stream
from oceans green
moving water into land
All within his grain of sand..
