| Of Atoms and Dreams | ||||||||||||||
| Though we are, and solid we appear, | ||||||||||||||
| Of atoms we are built. | ||||||||||||||
| The wind blows through us not, | ||||||||||||||
| Nor are our guts spilt. | ||||||||||||||
| Our skin does not rip asunder, | ||||||||||||||
| Our hair is unlike our toes. | ||||||||||||||
| Though no atom touches another, | ||||||||||||||
| Of atoms are we all composed. | ||||||||||||||
| Enormous are the atomic distances, | ||||||||||||||
| Yet together they hold. | ||||||||||||||
| This is the law of Nature, | ||||||||||||||
| So we have been told. | ||||||||||||||
| What is this that we call us, | ||||||||||||||
| Surely more than just odd. | ||||||||||||||
| What is life, what are we, | ||||||||||||||
| But a dream of God. | ||||||||||||||
