too wonderful for me

 

our minds conquer

time and distance

to maintain connection

to loved ones

 

in physics

there is an odd, instantaneous

connection between some far-

separated particles that makes

no more sense

and yet is true

 

each time we think we know

perhaps it would be better

to smile to ourselves

and admit we could still be awed

by reality
