As simple a thing as a sparkle on a drop of dew
reflects chemistry, physics, neuroanatomy too
Sensation, perception, consciousness
And so the birth of the individual
It is the threshold where science becomes emotion
It is all that romance holds
This rainbow in all its perfection
no eye can perfectly see
No words can adequately explain
No mind can understand or contain
Yet it is just one thread in the fabric of the universe
One speck of sand on the beach of nature
A harmonious finishing touch
As well as the synchronized beginning of everything
Science in poetry
The spiritual locked on the surface of the most common substance

All I can do is take a deep breath and exhale slowly, as I take in the depth of your words. How do body, soul, mind come together to form us thinking, feeling human beings? It's always a puzzle to me.
Thank you so much for taking your time to review and comment on this piece. It is a puzzle to all of us. No one really knows but it seems that everything in this universe is related and synchronized.
Ah yes, isn't the human mind incredible to create romatic associations with the scientific realities all around us - the moon, the stars, rainbows - the fall of a shadow, the call of the wild.
Where would we poets be without this inspirational spark.
Great piece of poetry. I love it when a piece makes me reflect upon some things we take for granted - well I do anyway.
“ one thread in the fabric of the universe” so genius and ethereal. Beautiful write!
