The Swirl


Starry cradle to the earthly bloom,
We spring, we leap, we sing.
In the cosmic breath, our lives consume
The force that's everything.

A biochemical hymn is played,
Within each cell, a blaze,
Where glucose waltzes, genome sways,
Life’s light to shadows stays.

Quantum whispers guide the stream,
Through vails, through thoughts unseen.
Photosynthetic dreams bestow
A silver screen, serene.

Electric pulses shape our night,
Thoughts shimmer, synapse fire,
Neurons spin their endless light,
Of hopes, of fear, desire.

Forged in stars, our atoms trace
Their ancient stellar trails,
Solar warmth, a soft embrace,
On hearts and souls it sails.

Celestial forces, ancient tides,
In rhythms sweep us still.
Their currents in our blood reside,
We bend to their set will.

We are but echoes, cycles grand,
Birth, growth, decay, and night.
From cosmic dawns to starlit sands,
We dance in endless flight.

Chi and prana, life's pure flow,
We channel, we transform.
In arts, in thoughts, emotions grow,
Energy in vibrant form.

In unity, both truth and dream,
Our place is found, defined.
In science and in poetic streams,
Our paths are all entwined.

With eyes to stars and feet to ground,
In every breath we glean,
Deep profound and true unbound,
Transistors supervene.

Eternal dance of form and force,
Of matter, mind, and heart.
In every life, the universe,
We play our fleeting part.
