Dream To Have

What we write now 

    remains in stasis 

unless elementary forces 

beyond  our control 

 or ability to understand 

stagger about to dominate  

On a stage so tremendous 

we are just now beginning 

to  perceive our role 

in this ongoing sector 

of the developing universe

One of the reasons for this dream 

to have been provoked in the first place 

has been to better our observations

of the potential nature of this world

Time, when surveyed as all we get 

becomes more tangible as we witness it 

slipping through our fingers every year

The dream we are going to have 

will feel like an electric day 

in the late fall of our youth
