Poetry again...


Untitled

When you see it,
and it’s layered and layered.
Large, impressive, and simple,
and tiny, functional
and endlessly complex.
Just step back in awe
and take a moment
to let it all sink in.
There’s more in one cell
more in one action
than we can comprehend
or recreate.
Imagine it pulsing
blood-rich and strong.
Imagine the places it can take you.
Imagine there’s nothing like it in this world
Because until you saw it,
laid out on the table before you,
it was only imagined.
But now it’s reality,
immense and miniscule,
crucial and only a part
of the bigger picture.
Only a part of us.
What more can’t we comprehend?
What more can we know?
Let’s lay it out on the table,
unveiled before us.
Judging ourselves.
