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. | ||||||||||||||
