Never-Ending Excitement Of Infinity

*

Without proper preparation I did my French
presentation, words flowing together in new
melodies, mécanique quantique, l’infiniment
petit, astrophysique, l’infiniment grand dans
une aventure fantastique, fabuleuse

Étoiles, océans, poissons sont reliés - c’est
mystérieux, magique, quantum physics reveals
a universe consisting of intelligent energy, the
presence of awareness in everything in the
never-ending excitement of infinity

I could not stop long enough to shorten long
sentences, explain strange concepts, I kept
looking for rhythms to confer beauty and
harmony to the objects perceived by all
our senses, stars, oceans, snowflakes

Everything flows into a seamless whole when
the laser beams of eyes and mind reconstitute
the vibrations of reality into a perfect hologram
I could not climb outside myself to look at the
world inside my head from a new perspective

My listeners never heard the song playing in my
mind in joyous appreciation of all the delights
and wonders revealed by modern science - and
the freedom conferred by relativity, maybe they
could not understand, maybe they never will

Now no matter dear, the joy of hinting at mysteries
at the heart of our universe was enough to bring
the glow of passion into my life, give meaning to
the anxiety of existentialism ever-threatening to
tear my life and mind apart

The riddle of existence is the most wonderful aspect
of the puzzle presented by our being on earth, lightens
the black feeling of le néant and brings light to the
darkest corners of the multiverse!
