Stars won’t shine
If darkness was not present ;
There you are, Tom, a Binary
That brings much pleasure to the eyes.
Waves and Photons , one moment
A stream of Particles, then when sent
Through a Double Slit, you see
A sea of Waves; bewilderment abounds
Much like the fluctuations of Price ,
Availability or not, from day to day
Of Commodities. Certainty is lacking
In the World at large ; Jasper , it occurred
To me just now, that the perceived World
Will not be the case
If not for the existence of Language.
Now what would happen if all the Matter
Disappeared ; would there be Space
by Hemal Jayasuriya
Poetry thrives in a shadowy, allusive world in which feelings that can be un-pinnable in precise language come into a reality all their own. It may seem to have little to do with the world of facts and experimentation that is science. If all that there is can be explained by what we see and/or what we can prove, what need is there for poetry?
