POEM

Abstract  Comes  To  Life

A shape, six sided
Hexagon, why was it
Centred : Scaffolding
On which organic Molecules
Get built ;  Chance or Necessity ?
Entanglement of Geometry
In the awakening of Consciousness ;
Imagine a Rose : Mind tells
Me that it is nothing but an agglomeration
Of molecular entities into an interlocking Structure.
Who is the Master
That made the choice
Of one particular form
Amongst an Infinity
To make inert Elements
Dance in unison
Around the flame
Of a  Benzene Ring
