In every atom a universe
Where the sentient must survive
A speed of light, and so traverse
To keep life’s dream alive
Not fade away, cease to exist
Or slowly rendered rotten
The innate urge to persist
And never be forgotten
Without thought, without emotion
The proton set to dance
And swim the primordial ocean
Where life takes one more chance

Oh the thought of micro and macro meeting makes me think that zero and infinity coincides at one point.

At one time I watched the course/lectures Zero to Inifinity – A History of Numbers. Whilst some of it flew way over head the ones about zero and infinity were fascinating.

Well done! None of us want to just fade away. We hope to leave a track or two…. until the snow melts! :>)

I loved your poem, Shaun! The urge to make a mark on the world, to exist in some way memorable, is real.
