Bio Note: I write poetry to try and bring light to my struggle with the awareness of my humanity: the juxtaposition of the smallness of ourselves when viewed universally and yet the large impact each of our individual actions can have.

Starseed

Particles accelerate
Never losing mass.
Never losing energy.
Cold fusion brilliance,
created in a fog of clarity.
Energy illuminated. 
Magic?
Pounds of stardust
traded for an ounce of perspective.
We all love amusement parks.
Dizzy and delirious, 
parked permanently on the ride.
