Quantum Physics Poetry from Year of The Poet (Vol 42)

Quantum Existence Alone

A drop of water alone in the wave
moved by the crowd
the moonlight
forces of nature

A drop of water undifferentiated
alone in the rocking unity
of the flourishing flow
one does not exist
it is

One drop separated
in seclusion
bigger or smaller next to its neighbor
darker or clearer than
till uniquely able to contemplate
the meaning of existence
alone

Disappearing Words

If I could disappear a word
I would vanish regret
send loneliness packing

If I could disappear a word
I’d dance with solitude
till the fear was gone

If I could disappear a word
hate would have to go
friendship leaping into its place

Anger would silently slink away
leaving room for creativity
rearranging letters

Finding rest in stressful
and changing in challenging
sounds heard through a new lens

This Is Mine

Alone I decide
what is mine
what I claim
from the wave of nature
all
connected parts
the web of life
offering all to the one
who sees connections
everywhere
